It's a very underrated side effect of this whole LLM thing: We've created a super compact representation of human knowledge in a form that requires a FAR less complex tech stack to get the information 'out' of in the future.

A year ago, a lot of this information only existed on the internet, and would have been nearly impossible to recover in any cohesive unfragmented form if the lights were to ever go out on our civilization.

Now the problem space has moved simply to "find a single solitary PC that will still boot up", and boom, you have access to everything.

I think we just created our Rosetta stone.
