I re-read it. I think your thesis is that we ought not to depend on technology in case the infra to support it goes away. Does that capture it?

No. It’s that we shouldn’t depend on AI always being available.

Absolutely we should use all the tools at our disposal which enhances productivity. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t also learn how’re to do things for ourselves too.

To use a contrived example, there’s no shame in using a dishwasher. But if you cannot wash dishes by hand when the dishwasher breaks down, then you know you have problems.
