Asimov highlights the distinction between explainable inaccuracy (historical flat-Earth) and simple delusion (modern flat-Earthism). Modern flat-Earthism is a regression. #FlatEarth #ScienceHistory #DelusionVsInaccuracy #ScientificProgress

If you're in Paris, don’t miss The world through AI at Jeu de Paume ! The exhibition offers a critical and nuanced look at the evolution of intelligent technologies.
