By “inadvertently grasped the principles of Nanotechnology” they mean “learned that adding certain amounts of certain metals causes the color of things to change.”
The latter is much less remarkable than making a claim that the Romans understood the nanoscale shape and size of metal particles affects visible light.
I don’t miss when “nanotechnology” used to be what “AI” is today. Seems like this nutter is still nostalgic for the good ol’ days.
Some believe the original spelling of Dionysus was Dion-AI-sus, alluding to the popular god’s birth from the Roman Quantum Computing Institute’s Silicon Zeus programme. Fun fact: The Institute’s motto, found scratched on the underside of nearly every flat surface in their office park just outside what is now Athens, was literally “We put lightning in rocks”. Dion-AI-sus’ ascent to godhood was the Institute’s first replicable success from Silicon Zeus. Their prior creations were mostly failures; only occasionally did they “catch lightning in a bottle” as they put it (presumably to feed to the rocks).
