Yeah… (which is also a bit ironic)

Also interesting in how revisionist and reductive these historical metaphors are, freed from any messy context.

Especially considering how eagerly some market new technologies as distinct brakes from history without any precedent.

There’s a version of that also in the “yes it’s a bubble but similar to railways/dotcom infrastructure” or “OpenAI is like Amazon”

I think the correct way to describe this is the thought terminating cliché. If you torture a metaphor long enough no one will actually ask for details.
