"Tech optimist" Andreessen saying that introspection is a modern invention exposes his historical ignorance, arrogance and hubris.
The Buddha founded the four noble truths on introspection.
St.Augustine shaped Christianity through this capacity to look inwards and confess.

Mandatory humanities classes. Please for the love of god. These men think theyre the first to ever have an idea. Kill me.

It's really too bad we're ruled now by people with no culture. Just for one example, Cicero wrote an entire book to cope with the grief of losing his daughter. Or read Napoleon's letters. He absolutely stewed over Josephine.

It is 100% true that great men and women of the past were not sitting around moaning about their feelings. I regret nothing.

Sam Altman's own advisors told him not to launch 'adult mode' in ChatGPT. One of them warned it could become a 'sexy suicide coach' for kids.
He nodded, thanked them, and did it anyway.
This is who OpenAI is. Boycott ChatGPT.

Reading is a form of intellectual focus. A child who reads for hours a day isn't just building vocabulary. They're building the capacity to sit down and concentrate. In an age of digital distraction, that skill alone puts them ahead. And it transfers across every domain.

Here the Anthropic AI CEO goes yet again - playing the doomer apocalypse card to try to imply just how amazingly world-shatteringly powerful his dumb chatbot slop machine is.
Must be time for another funding round.
Change the record slop artist.

The lack of funding for humanities education in the US has had real and dire consequences in that there are a lot of people with immense power to make the world worse and are also dumber than fried dogshit

Shout it from the rooftops!!!
AI is damaging students permanently - their ability to think, be creative, question, rationalise etc.
Why think themselves when AI can just give them the answer?
Education is in trouble the world over.

No one with even the slightest knowledge of old books would say this. Achilles wept over the death of Patroclus. David described his love for Jonathan as “passing the love of women.” Jeremiah said, “Oh, that my eyes were a fountain of tears!” Ancient people felt deeply.

Fantastic news in the UK today - the government has apparently ditched its plan to force creatives to 'opt out' if they don't want AI companies training on their life's work.
The opt-out proposal was unfair and unworkable. Many couldn't realistically have opted out at all, and it would have affected small rights holders disproportionately negatively.
We should be grateful to the government for listening to reason on this, rather than just listening to the big tech lobby. They have done the right thing by putting opt-out behind us.
They should now reaffirm what the law says - that AI companies must license people's work if they want to train on it - and commit not to change that law.

We’ve spent decades hearing that “books are an escape from real life,” and now millions are illiterate, unmoored & emotionally adrift. “We do not escape into philosophy, psychology, and art,” said Anaïs Nin. “We go there to restore our shattered selves into whole ones.”

If we don't educate children in history, culture, languages, religion, traditions, ethics and critical thinking preferring instead to limit them to STEM subjects, then we are raising a generation of easy to manipulate morons. This is becoming ever more obvious today.
