Reese Witherspoon posts kitchen video urging mothers to learn basic AI concepts
Reese Witherspoon posted a 55-second video filmed in her kitchen with a blender and smoothie ingredients encouraging mothers to learn basic AI concepts before further advances. She noted that only three in ten women currently use AI and recommended small practical steps for everyday tools. The New York Times published an op-ed criticizing the message. Garry Tan, President and CEO of Y Combinator, responded by sharing the video and directing viewers to it rather than the article.

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.
