i mean, using prometheus in particular has certain connotations that in my mind weakens the metaphor. as does the use of a man-made fuel. that's why i don't think in works. there's also the aspect someone pointed out that he seems to know some people are arsonists despite them never having had access to fire.
...so are you saying that the good aspects of ai outweigh the bad, or that the bad aspects of fire outweigh the good?
also what does stealing fire from the gods represent here? what is prometheus' motivation? is he evil here, or ignorant? what does his eventual punishment by the gods represent? is this saying that humans are naturally susceptible to ai, or that they have been made so by on external process (aka pouring gasoline)? in that context, is "it's just a tool" a sincere statement, or part of the plan? what even is the plan the author alluding to?
it tends to lead to overanalysis instead, i find. like, if the fire is ai and prometheus is the companies that brought us the ai, what does everyone being covered in gasoline represent? wasn't prometheus punished by the gods for bringing fire to humanity? does this imply that indeed it is just a tool and the flammable arsonists are a few bad apples? are they implying that it was wrong of prometheus to bring fire to humanity? or are they implying that prometheus is an innocent party, or to take it further, actively malicious? and if so, again, why is everyone covered in gasoline?
firefox was originally phoenix, which was originally the mozilla suite, which was originally netscape. the experience was there from 1999, with the same people behind it.
i read "the touch screen turns on in approved apps" and noped the hell out. this is a sailfish phone with proprietary tracking code and arbitrary undisclosed limitations. get an old xperia and install sailfish on that if you want the experience.
this was on special k boxes in the 90s my dude
