- philipkglass 2y agoEvery terrifying technology that people worry can be propagated by AI or terrorist manuals is already sitting on a university library shelf. Most of it already available via Sci-Hub or Library Genesis. I have documents on nuclear weapons that would have been top secret 50 years ago.

In any case, I've absolutely noticed how even a Raspberry Pi Zero, taken back 40 years, would be a supercomputer beyond anything that money could buy back then. A GPU that we'd consider obsolescent today would be truly insane in 1985.
