This is approximately how Ken Roose's quote reads to me:

"Instead, I believe schools should thoughtfully embrace [methamphetamine] as a [concentration] aid — one that could unlock student creativity, [boost productivity by annihilating sleep], and better prepare students to [defend against the silent black helicopters that watch them constantly] as adults."

I'm with you on the rest of it, too. This AI shit sucks.

Hate to tell you, but "deep fake" audio scam phone calls are already a thing. There was supposedly a scam going around that is exactly what you feared: hoaxing the voices of loved ones asking for money.

Hopefully the proliferation of AGI will have such devastating impacts on public education that we will finally get rid of the cargo cult that is universal public high school.

Love this. Just wonder how we can stop it. One side note is that there’s a difference between generative AI and AGI, with the latter not really being in play quite yet, but everything you indict gets worse when it is.

Oh fuck. I thought AGI stood for artificial generative intelligence.
