    Well, to play devil’s advocate: Confronting children with AI early on prepares them for what’s to come. If he teaches about the dangers, the advantages and disadvantages it’s good to do so early on so the kids can understand what they are dealing with. They will be exposed to it anyway so it’s good to talk and learn about it.

    That being said: I don’t think this is what he meant by that.

      I’m guessing this “homeschooling” will start well, and then go on a complete fucking tangent where they now believe AI is god, and make a god damn religion through it.

      If someone’s so passionate in AI, where he removes his kids from school to homeschool them, the end result is not going to be fucking pretty.

          Yea no, it’s not that bad. Jediism is also a pretty cool religion content-wise unless they somehow fucked up the story of star wars. Just like how the Jews, muslums, and catholics couldn’t ever talk about their parent religion Assyrianism; oh what a fucking disgrace that would be.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jediism

          it would be so much more interesting if these major religions did talk about there parent religion asyrianism and/or roman mythology. Its far more interesting than asking a rabbi “what shoe I should tie first” or “why do I have to cut my finger nails in a specific way as if I have dyslexia.” 😂

          Anyways I’m getting side tracked here, basic premise is, an AI religion – which some may argue already exists (talking to you Sam altman) – as long as there’s truth to it, is far better than any other religion

      the question–if ai indeed does what it says on the tin–is why.

      why bother schooling your kids at all at home or otherwise if this chatgepetto guy can do everything for you?

      let them just eat, sleep, and be merry.

    I’m using Grok to raise my kids. They’ve learned tons of important lessons about who controls the media.

    he uses AI to homeschool. The same AI that is wrong 70% of the time and deludes facts more often than that? America, please for the love for your children, introduce MANDATORY schooling!!! So many dumb parents, often massively religious, who teach their children anything besides factbased science… I feel so sorry everytime I watch a video of a homeschooled kid who struggles to multiply 5 with 5.

      I knew a 17 year old girl who was homeschooled and didn’t know what a “prime number” was. Surprise surprise, her mom was a bible-thumper (and the girl was a closeted atheist.)

    Here’s the full article

    it also helps my kids prepare for the world they’re entering

    I homeschool all five of my kids

    All of the kids have AI on their phones and tablets, and it acts as their tutor.

    Because of course limiting contact with the outside world and basing almost their entire education on fucking ChatGPT won’t hurt them at all in the long term.

      in Germany this would be grounds enough to call the youth welfare department and remove him as a father. Holy fuck. I feel so sorry for all the homeschooled kids in the US. This is not okay, he is throwing away 5 lifes.

        I was homeschooled. It’s a horrible practice for so many reasons. Luckily my parents enrolled me in college (dual enrollment) early and I was able to get a halfway decent education

          There ARE some parents who actually do homeschooling right. But it does seem to be the exception rather than the rule.

            Thank you for saying this.

            The US education system is cooked. It’s not hard to do better.

            Homeschooling gets a bad wrap because it is very poorly regulated and leads to some of the dumbest, least well adjusted adults you can possibly create.

            But it can also lead to a much better, proper education if the parents are intelligent and truly care about the kids education.

              Yes, I know at least one family that homeschools and does a good job. My sister-in-law does it as well, but it’s the wrong way, unfortunately.

      Although I definitely agree that the vast majority of parents definitely shouldn’t homeschool, I know of a single case where it went alright. Though they’re definitely outliers in the equation.

    Most of the people I work with are deeply invested in crypto, and are flat broke now most of them are looking for jobs in AI thinking it will make them extremely wealthy and also because it destroys the environment their words, not mine
