@mttaggart@infosec.exchange I think they said the same thing about newspapers, internet, video game, red meat, and cigarettes. Okay, they might have been right about cigarettes. But my neurodivergent kids will have more opportunities in their life because of AI.

@Xavier@infosec.exchange I am deeply sensitive to learning differences and accommodations, but I honestly don't think that's the case. If knowledge work of all kinds is destroyed or critically damaged by generative models, and if education is reduced to following the lead of LLMs, in my view the opportunity landscape is pretty barren for all.

@Xavier@infosec.exchange @mttaggart@infosec.exchange It's too early to see how it will play out... right now LLMs need a lot of minding for the coding AI part so it's not like there won't be any jobs around it. What we teach kids (or teaching them anything at all) has changed over time, "having an education" used to mean Latin and scriptures... what's useful to know will be changed by this similar to the Industrial Revolution, 202x-style education won't suit 205x people.
