AI enhances the threat of stupidity because it allows people to be stupid faster and in greater volumes.
Education education education god dammit. The only thing that can save our planet and mankind from mankind is free and mandatory quality education all over the world. Teacher should be the best paid and praised job in the world. This is where investment should be made to hope for benefits in two generations… But we are doomed aren’t we?
I mean I’ve got things to say:
- When did education become a cure for stupidity?
- “Free and Mandatory” is some fucking newspeak if I’ve ever heard it.
- “Save
our planet andmankind from mankind”, the big rock will be fine. - “Teacher should be the best paid and praised job in the world.” this will just attract the sort of people who become mega-pastors, celebrities and politicans into the role.
Like don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to have recieved a state education, it’s a jolly good thing, but let’s not oversell it.
For your education then, I benefitted from free and mandatory education. Free as my parents nor I did have to sell a kidney or get indebted: mandatory as it was illegal for my parents to pull me out of school before 16. (yes, illegal)
Now I wish the quality would have been a notch up, but the era was already full speed reducing the supposed “cost” of the education system and civil servants, not weighing in the societal benefits. 40 some years later and the trend hasn’t reversed yet
He has a point.
Except that we as humans learned to handle stupidity for the last 5000 years. AI is only 5 years old. We need to learn to handle it.

This is pretty clearly not true
