When smart home thermostats and light switches were still a new thing, I used to talk about “Jurassic Park Tech”, as in too worried about whether or not they could… and that’s even more the case with AI.

At some point I think this gets to be like S. M. Stirling’s Emberverse, where modern tech stops working and people who know how to make traditional wooden bows become an extremely valuable resource. Except it’ll be having some old-timer on hand who’s able to handle logistics with just spreadsheet, a Rolodex, and a calendar that’s going make or break companies.
