Stop Asking AI to Innovate. It’s a Much Better Gravedigger.
Skeptics complain that AI is just recycling old knowledge instead of inventing the future. They’re wrong. Projects like os8088.com prove AI’s most profound power isn’t creation, but digital archaeology. By writing 16-bit assembly to resurrect dead platforms like the IBM XT, AI is acting as the ultimate gravedigger, reanimating the technological past in ways that matter more than another new app.
