Knowledge is power true, but even more powerful and rare is tacit knowledge. A vast collection of minor steps that no one bothers to communicate, things locked in the head of the greybeards of every field that keep civilizations running.

It's why simply reading instructions and gaining knowledge is only the first step of what could be a long journey.

More than anything, technology can make it easier to disseminate that knowledge. Yet another reason why we shouldn't understate the importance of knowledge.

LLMs impart knowledge without understanding. See the classic parable of Bouvard and Pechuchet.

There's different kinds of knowledge - LLM kind (textbook knowledge mostly) isn't as valuable as a lot of people assume.
