You work and you work and you work and you pay and you pay and you pay
and then you see stuff like this
what are we even doing.
EXCLUSIVE: California has created a shadow welfare system for illegal aliens. Free housing, cash, healthcare, food, phones, college tuition, even car insurance—costing taxpayers more than $10 billion per year.

AI does not need to degrade learning. It can and should enhance it.
The real problem isn't the disruption. It's that the disrupter class is finally being disrupted. That's what makes them nervous.
Everyone else has been the disrupted for generations. They said it was necessary.

If we are going to go down the path that the AI doomers want we should just go all the way. Let's not half ass it.
No computers at all. Maybe no cars or electricity either.
Farms, horses, scythes, lanterns, etc. Just fking send it

I’ve been using @normonics’s @sage_teacher with my almost 4yo and it’s great.
I created a homeschool OS with Claude and Google Sheets. Connected @bot to both, and when Sage sends the lesson update, Grok bot adjusts progress and knowledge tree.
The future is fucking insane.

It was in the sky! And it had lights!!!
It's really wild that the nerds who pushed ALL CHANGE IS PROGRESS pedal-to-the-metalism for decades and decades are all of a sudden discovering Chesterton's fence when it is THEIR ego on the line.
Nah. You don't get to spare yourselves while having already run roughshod over everything and everyone else.
AI can truly be a decentralizing force. In many ways it is a much more organic technology than the industrial and digital revolutions that came before it.

Mathematician Terence Tao:
"we have to slow down AI. the pace is insane, and there's no reason to be this fast — no reason at all"
It's amazing how willing we are to change everything without any idea what happens afterward
These are extremely nonlinear dynamics

I am not worried. The things AI overturns are not the old things, but the new ones.

We are up to 4 kids
Now when I see any comments on the way kids are *universally* derived from a sample of two or fewer, I just laugh. Kids are as varied as adults.
