AI Is Making Kids Dumber, Bad VC Horror Stories & SBF Wants a Pardon https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1DxLddekQwyxm
@Jason I think we should be clear. AI does not make kids dumber, bad parents do. AI is a tool. If parents give up and don't parent, that is not an AI problem.
@Jason Are we destroying a generation of potential engineers and entrepreneurs and problem solvers? IQ rates are already dropping in developed countries. I doubt AI makes that problem any better.
@Jason These topics are so interesting, always love your takes on them 🔥

@Jason SBF wants a pardon, VCs are behaving badly, and AI is making kids dumber. Normal Monday morning in tech.
@Jason If I walk into a new doctor office, I’m gonna be honest, I may have a prejudice that he used AI to get thru school.
@zookmax @Jason Parents were giving up and not parenting long before AI.
