    Claiming modern day students face an unprecedentedly tumultuous technological environment only shows a bad grasp of history. LLMs are cool and all, but just think about the postwar period where you got the first semiconductor devices, jet travel, mass use of antibiotics, container shipping, etc etc all within a few years. Economists have argued that the pace of technological progress, if anything, has slowed over time.
