Today in 'actually, this bit was done already' or 'would you like a Hegel mirror'? Another week, another moment where I feel like I'm watching this behaviour as (yet) another group try to reinvent the internet and the web. [image shows a man whittling a wheel out of wood by hand in his shed while stating that he doesn't want to reinvent the wheel. Next to him is an entirely automated production line of wheels, mass produced, in better quality, for lower cost as part of an advanced industrialised society. Image is AI_generated; the ego of the man, however, is entire of his own making.]
