By the way, "accidentally rediscovering the already-known" is, when you think of it, how every genAI answer works, only worse, because genAI users, by definition, have outsourced learning, and therefore discovery, to genAI, and genAI does not *learn* (it is, at best, fed) and therefore does not *discover* anything, let alone rediscover.
Quoting
"What do we learn from all this? Mostly the same thing we learned when the crypto bros repeatedly rediscovered financial fraud, or when effective altruists decided the most effective altruism was to buy themselves a castle, or when ride share companies kept accidentally reïnventing the bus. If you start by ignoring everything that we already know, the best you can ever hope for is to accidentally rediscover the already-known."
