A pre-ChatGPT paper that seems relevant: information processing seems to be the key to growth throughout the long span of recorded history. Better information processing tools are, the paper argues, what keeps societies from collapse.
A paper by mathematicians & archeologists studying the past 10k years argues population growth needs to be matched with information processing ability... otherwise societies collapse. Each level of info processing (writing, currency) unlocks new growth. So we need IT to save us! https://x.com/emollick/status/1375287903731937282/photo/1
