there's definitely

a role for augmenting education and supplementing education with these tools.

But there was a really good opinion piece in the New York Times in March by a guy named Cal Newport, who is, you may be familiar with him, Gina.

He's a professor at Georgetown.

And he cited a whole bunch of studies and research on the notion that the more we rely on these tools, the less we think, the less we're able to think.

And we're able to do the complicated tasks that we're offshoring to them.

And I think that the way to do this is not to restrict it, but to teach them how to use it, to teach them how to think about it, teach them critical thinking, because they're going to grow up in a world with it.

Yeah, bingo, I think you nailed that.

Oh, yeah

... um, are, you know, unplugging, making sure they have time, where they're reading books, where they're writing in a notebook, where they're, you know, doing things in a very analog way as a pushback to the way that they otherwise live.

And then the coda to that is there are people who just don't have the judgment or the education, to your point, to, to know to do that, and those people I think are r- at real risk.

And there's a doctor named Giovanni Colella, if I'm saying his name properly, who has a Substack newsletter that I get, and he, he had some serious pushback for Mark Zuckerberg and, and really pointed out, you know, at-risk populations with an agent who is their best friend.

And oh, by the way, you know, as Mark goes on and on in his dissertation, we're gonna, we're gonna put all kinds of encryption and privacy around this so that there's no scrutiny of what's going on between you and your AI agent/overlord.

[laughs] And, uh-

You-

Because from a legal standpoint, you do wanna see if somebody created stuff, right? If this came up in a court case.

Oh, yeah
