In 1966, a team under the direction of Margaret Hamilton built the Apollo Guidance Computer. This system controlled the flights of multiple missions taking three humans to the moon and back safely. The entire system ran on 55 watts of power.

In 2024, software "engineers" have built on this legacy. Through their innovation it is now possible to get incorrect answers to basic questions or create deepfake porn using merely the power of an entire accident-prone nuclear power plant.

@hugh Oh, what the supercomputers in our pockets could do if the main purpose of the software wasn't to addict us and track every blink we make.
