Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

According to ancient text written at a time of mass illiteracy/numerous "translations" commissioned by the surreptitious. The fall of man started with "Adam," when he fell for "Eve's" temptation of forbidden fruit, created with a sole purpose to intentionally ensnare. FTFY, I kid, we have fun here!

He's literally saying he wants to rewire the brains of all humans into those of tech executives. Gee, I wonder why this tech executive thinks that's the optimal thing a person can be. He took "learn to code" and turned into the bad guy's plan from Snow Crash

Huh. So then is he like that because of AI or because he has an army of humans doing everything for him already, and he thinks it’s the AI because he doesn’t perceive people any more?

After working in catering and doing events attended by executives and presidents and wealthy donors and such, I grew to learn that most rich people are about as self sufficient as a toddler.

Same here What surprised me the most by how little they worked. They're on the board of a company, but only in the office for an hour, and the rest of the week they're playing golf at the country club. It was fun to overhead their embarrassingly ignorant business ideas & dunk on them in the kitchen

Yeah it really doesn't matter to him because he knows the accelerationism ideology is coming to fruition, a full gen of kids won't get to survive the coming wars. that's the big tech ONLY plan.

He is right about one thing; computer-y thinking has been progressively moving to higher and higher levels of concern while losing knowledge of lower ones. The problem is he sees this as a good thing instead of, for example, the reason half the sites on the internet run like shit now.

The dark secret behind the internet is we had a better, more vibrant web back when everything was HTML and the average site was stuff like 1000 misspent hours or whatever and was just some weirdo's personal mind palace to update in between shifts at wendy's

Allowing people to own that much wealth is, frankly, cruel to the billionaires. It's effectively giving them wealth-induced brain damage. For their own good, their excess assets should be immediately seized and redistributed.

Not only is he stupid and proud of it, he also wants humans to give up all basic mental skills to simply become mindless computing drones...

I would humbly posit that anyone with enough free time to tweet is probably also sufficiently spoiled for choice. Loooootta broke ass folks out here who think they can get away with fake-it-til-you-make-it and don't-take-no-for-an-answer

Today's billionaires are going to drag us all into Hell with them just so they can prove to use that the saying "more money than sense" is an unshakeable axiom of the universe.

The bigger problem is not reality is entirely your own choices, but that you completely disconnect from everyone elses experience. And then your likely incentivized to not challenge that disconnec.
