@jeffreynparker Knowing the basic plots of so many classics makes it way easier to read them in high school or college + the seeds of interest have been sewn!

[Emily Banks @auntaminal]

@jeffreynparker YES!!!

May #womeninmalefields never stop trending. This is the brand of pop-feminism I've been longing for.

Boy do I have a religion for you

Mike Tyson is almost 60 years old. He shouldn’t be fighting. He should be getting ready to run for president in 15 years.

The "perfect calibration" is part of what makes this terrifying. Interacting with parents and family members, kids learn to respond to other humans who WON'T automatically recalibrate to suit their needs and desires...like, ya know, friends...

Just watched my 5-year-old son chat with ChatGPT advanced voice mode for over 45 minutes.

It started with a question about how cars were made.

It explained it in a way that he could understand.

He started peppering it with questions.

Then he told it about his teacher, and that he was learning to count.

ChatGPT started quizzing him on counting, and egging him on, making it into a game.

He was laughing and having a blast, and it (obviously) never lost patience with him.

I think this is going to be revolutionary. The essentially free, infinitely patient, super genius teacher that calibrates itself perfectly to your kid's learning style and pace.

Excited about the future.
