Marginally related (software?) rant: every time I want to learn how something specific works or I want to do something oddly specific I keep running in the same phenomenon. Google mostly returns vague abstract fluff and Stack Overflow tells me it really, really shouldn't be done because [reason]. It's like most of human written content caps out at about the level of description ChatGPT could deliver. Like there's a "knowledge event horizon".
After that it always ends in hard to parse research papers, specifications, jumping around the source code of multiple libraries, debugging or reverse engineering. If I get lucky I might land on a 15 year old blog post that no man has seen since inception and it describes exactly what I wanted to know.
And that's just software. Humans know exactly what parts went into it and how it works. Why must wisdom always be squeezed out of a rock? Why is only the fluff copied thousands of times making research harder each day? Why are there never indicators which way to dig for more details?
