Thanks! I thought that might be her. She wrote Inventing the Renaissance. She's very interesting.

@wackJackle except you can't put LLMs on the same line. It's no "tech revolution".

@wackJackle Loving the part about Gutenberg going bankrupt and all the following ones.
Less of a fan of the conclusion* (but does she knows how to tell a story ! I was sucked right in, wow)
*Because I don't think its very interesting to argue on the unity of change on some technique branch (computers/the press) while it's always a continuum anyway so like, in the end, I felt "duh all this for that". But it was a nice journey anyway.

@otyugh You don't have to agree with someone has to say about a topic. You can still learn something about it.

@wackJackle Thanks for sharing this! Her take on the successive tech revolutions about information is quite interesting.
<my 2cts>
But I find it difficult to consider the output of LLMs/Gen AI as "information". I'd rather word it as "data".For it to be considered as "information", I would expect these technologies to provide "new facts", which they can't (or hallucinate, in which case they are false information).
Therefore I don't see how this serves the information history.

@jamesbritt @wackJackle that's an awesome book.
