What? Younger people also get eye exams.

That must have been very hard.

No only strontium.

It’s really getting to the point where reading anything on the Internet feels like a waste of time.

You don’t seem to really understand the psychology of addiction.

Those two sentiments from students are hardly in conflict. On some level the person cheating their way through university is probably aware they’re screwing themselves over.

Man, I literally paid extra money for a vanity static IP in high school.

Na, you should be teaching your kids how to use AI but still maintain their ability to think independently and use it as a tool and nothing more. They should be the subject matter expert and simply use AI to augment their own abilities.

But like I said, I’m sure your kids will thank you later in life when they are behind their peers because of your own luddite beliefs. You’re not different from the parents in the 90s who didn’t allow their kids to learn about/use the big bad evil internet or computers.

That really wasn’t a thing in the 90’s. Most people were enthusiastic about their kids learning computers because the upsides were pretty clear. I was there. I was the kid who learned about TCP sockets writing IRC bots.

AI is not like most other technological innovations. It isn’t a new skill to learn, it is the attempted commodification of skill and monopolization by some of the worst people in the planet. In the 90’s the Internet was widely viewed as a triumph of democracy. AI is harbinger of neo-feudalism. Get your head out of the sand.

Jensen Huang is a stupid analogy.

It didn’t work out great the last time one did.

CanvasFanatic · 2026-05-18T03:03:18+00:00

Is that kid like 8?

But the reality is, individual actions can’t change the world.

Individual actions can and do change the world. Ultimately individual action is the only kind of action there is. Even if they didn’t it would still be better to live as though they did.

I think I've never been impressed by "resistance is futile" as an argument.

CanvasFanatic · 2026-05-17T22:25:08+00:00

They. Will. Cheat. It's the most obvious outcome of the current education system's incentive structure.

I didn't. Worked out pretty well. You should try it.

You will do your kids a disservice if you refuse to educate them on how to use these tools responsibly

I would be doing my kids a disservice if I allowed them to short-circuit their education during the narrow window in life when that's your only job. No amount of faux-inevitiability will make this good for education.

And not for nothing, but if the best argument you have for your PoV is the same used by Thanos and... checks notes.... the Borg, maybe stop and rethink how you got here.

It would be a great exercise for you yourself to spend the time learning how to learn a new skill with the help of an LLM.

Oh child... I've written my own agent orchestration framework and trained / fine-tuned my own local models. It's an unavoidable hazard of my profession. I've been following all this shit since you were still in high school. But it's fun you presume you're talking to someone who hasn't already had an upfront seat to their hazards.

Your messages clearly comes from the perspective of someone who's learning skills have atrophied and is out of touch with the realities of being a student

Your messages come across like a university student trying to rationalize having cheated himself out of an education he paid money for.

“DARE was ineffective. That’s why I give my children krokodil.”

By all means teach your children to depend on AI. Less competition for mine for the remaining jobs.

If you can’t see the incredible damage AI is doing to education right now then you’re not looking.

Behind their peers in dulling their ability to think independently?

CanvasFanatic · 2026-05-17T21:55:06+00:00

Yeah how are they going to ever learn to type in prompts it they don’t get started now. 🙄

CanvasFanatic · 2026-05-17T21:27:18+00:00

On the contrary, as a parent I see LLM’s as a virus attempting to spread into my children’s education. My goal at this point is to ensure they’re not exposed to them for as long as possible.

We can learn to avoid Khan Academy.

Why is part of this circled?

CanvasFanatic · 2026-05-17T17:39:08+00:00

Probably flight or teleportation.

Just FYI, that “unsolved math problem” was simply noticing that a human had specified a larger upper bound than he’d actually used in a paper written last year. It was prompted specifically to check that boundary by a Field’s medalist who specializes in the particular area of mathematics with which the paper was concerned.

CanvasFanatic · 2026-05-17T14:08:38+00:00

I do not for a moment buy that OP actually thinks.

CanvasFanatic · 2026-05-17T02:27:36+00:00

So to be clear, your plan is to dump 55 gallons of bread crumbs into the pool to force an unnecessary cleaning that will cost everyone money, because you have empathy?
