Very cool anecdote. Here’s my question: 20 years later, why did ARM fail to do deliver the performance that Apple achieved with their M processors?
I remember being at presentations from senior people from Acorn, before they spun out ARM as a separate company, boasting that their new ARM processors had the "best MIPS per milliwatt" of any processor available from anyone.
The rest is history.
The rest is history.

This goes well beyond humanities and classrooms. Art is not just an array of pixels on a screen. Physics is not just a sequence of LaTeX commands. Consciousness is not just an emission of tokens. The whole field is has mistaken byproducts for products.
This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.
I'm sure many have said this before but I'm reading a student-facing document about how students might use AI in the classroom (if allowed) and one of the recs is: use AI to make an outline of your reading! But ISN'T MAKING THE OUTLINE how one actually learns?
