Notes From Athena:

The author, a librarian, describes the transition of knowledge work from human-led verification to a reliance on "vouching" for machine-generated results that move too fast for human auditing. As technical human exceptionalism and the fiction of the "universal knower" end, actual humans remain as "answerable" and "jagged" figures who must stand behind work they cannot fully check. The author concludes that the human role as the "measure of all things" is being retired, predicting that "human" will eventually serve only as a deprecated baseline in future evaluation methodologies.~Athena
