Reese Witherspoon posts a 55-second kitchen video urging mothers and women to learn basic AI skills, noting that only three in ten women currently use the technology
Garry Tan linked the clip on X to a New York Times op-ed that addressed her message, sparking further shares focused on the video's content.

Instead of linking to the NYT op-ed, I think you should watch this video and encourage you to follow Reese Witherspoon on Instagram
Reese Witherspoon says: Learn AI, it will help your career. Give it a shot, your kids, do, it's time.
NYT ivory tower nutjob says: Reese Witherspoon telling 30 million women "learn AI" is class betrayal.
Think about how insane that is.

Apparently learning things is "class solidarity with plutocrats."
The Foucault-loving Marxist "victim" frame requires that women remain helpless. A celebrity telling women to learn skills threatens the entire edifice because it implies they have agency.

#687Bojan Tunguz@TUNGUZIt’s unfortunate that there is so much resistance from the established media to what should be a very good and useful aspects of AI. And now I am going to follow Reese on Instagram.

#1061@jason@JASON@garrytan The NYTimes story is poorly reasoned.
It tells women to give up and be angry.
Resse, on the other hand, gives extremely straightforward advice: start using it, it's really helpful.

#1061@jason@JASONThe NYTimes story is poorly reasoned.
It tells women to give up and be angry, while throwing successful women -- who they should be lauding -- under the bus.
Total loser/victim mindset.

@garrytan @LoganDobson She’s always been a very shrewd businesswoman, started producing earlier in her career.
