Interesting. To what extent might AI accessibility for kids be driving this trend

[Gita Wirjawan @GWirjawan]

A blunt truth from 2025 PISA study.

Across all categories,
- China leads the world at 574,
- Singapore’s rank drops to second, at 555.

And if we break down across Southeast Asia:
- Only Singapore, Vietnam, and Brunei that are above the world’s average (at 436,9)
- Across 91 countries, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Cambodia sits outside the top 50%

Across the last four cycles, from 2012 to 2022, most of the region has stagnated or slipped backward.

- Vietnam fell from 516 to 468.
- Thailand from 437 to 394.
- Indonesia from 384 to 369.
- Only Singapore kept climbing, from 555 to 560 (excluding this year).

Such a summary of our progress (or lack thereof), while China continues to advance alongside its rapidly growing economy.

How’s this not a call to action for better investment in educational attainment?

Thought @AnthropicAI was the ‘safety first’ lab…now what? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Jacob Coxon @hilbertspaess]

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

[Rohan Monga @monohangar]

@OpenAI had more than enough credit coming their way; their model was used to solve the equations. Disappointed :/

I had a blast being out until 4am with my family and friends at UNVRS in Ibiza for my 77th birthday and thought I’d pass it along to turn you onto it, in case you’re in the neighborhood.

It took me 43 years to realize there are no adult. Just kids in adult bodies trying to figure it things out the best they can.

[Rohan Monga @monohangar]

These @AnthropicAI daily releases are reminding me of the Kendrick v Drake 2024 battle...dropping diss tracks upon diss tracks before @OpenAI has had a chance to respond...wild 🤯

@maximumpain333 This aligned with everything I am feeling after saying goodbye to my dad not two months ago. Beautiful. Thank you.

I might get some pushback for this, but I honestly think a lot of parents, especially in places like Silicon Valley and especially many Asian parents, are training their kids for the wrong world.

I see kids at the age of 7-8 packed with after-school math, more reading, more test prep, with the goal to make them “smarter.”

But from my perspective, living deep in the AI world every single day, I’m pretty sure raw intelligence is about to become a commodity.

Very soon, AI is going to do math better than the best mathematician, it’ll diagnose better than top doctors around the world, it’ll draft contracts better than elite lawyers, and it’ll learn faster than any PhD, instantly, endlessly, and without any fatigue.

All of that knowledge will live right in your pocket.

So think about it… if we’re raising kids to win by being “the smartest in the room,” we’re really training them for something that’s already being replaced.

In my opinion, this is a waste of time, $, and effort.

What I focus on with my kids is very different.

I care about willpower.

I care about passion.

I care about loving something enough to stick with it, especially when it feels hard.

And as a Dad, my job is to support that, whatever it is, and teach them to never give up.

I could be totally wrong though…

But when I look at where AI is headed, I don’t think the future belongs to the kid who memorized the most formulas or did the most math problems, etc.

In the future, I think the winners are going to be kids who
1/ can push through frustration
2/ can stay curious
3/ can keep going deeper into their passions than others
4/ can use AI tools to build cool things
5/ has the will power to never give up

In this day and age, school doesn’t really teach this and I don’t think after-school classes teach that either. I don’t think any of this can really be taught at school tbh, it’s something that is developed inside the home through the environment we as parents cultivate.

In a world where AI will help you build anything, create anything, and learn anything instantly, I don’t think the real edge will be intelligence anymore like the past.

The edge will come down to grit, discipline, emotional strength, and to keep going as others quit.

AI will be so deeply woven into our kids’ lives whether we like it or not.

That part is unavoidable.

However, what is avoidable is raising kids who only know how to follow instructions, chase grades, and wait for approval.

I always tell my kids, I don’t care what grade you get in a test. I care that you know what you got wrong, why you got it wrong, and what you’re doing to avoid that mistake in the future.

Because I firmly believe in the future, the kids who will thrive the most will be the ones who want something badly enough to go after it, who aren’t afraid to fail, and those who know how to leverage AI.

Just my two cents.

But if we’re serious about the future, I think it’s time parents start training for that world, NOT the one we grew up in.

I was in Tokyo recently on a business trip.

I accidentally left my brand new MacBook on a park bench in Tokyo. I realized it 3 hours later.
I sprinted back, panic mode fully engaged, assuming it was gone forever.
It wasn't there.
I asked a nearby shopkeeper. He pointed to the bench.
Someone had placed my laptop inside a plastic grocery bag and taped it to the bench so it wouldn't get wet in the drizzle.
They didn't take it. They protected it.
Culture is what you do when no one is watching.

What do you think would happen in your country if the same thing happened?
