One day I had to pump gas — it was a few years ago.

What a totally relatable human being. Just out and about doing normal human stuff.

That brain wouldn't have done any much thinking to begin with. Huang thinks that knowing your own address or postal code isn't relevant because AI:

So the message of this research out of China, where you were seeing a lot of kids using A.I. to help them, was that when they were using the A.I., they were getting things done faster. But it turned out that the skills they were learning were not holding, that their actual personal performance, at least in the way we traditionally measure it, was degrading. What do you think when you hear that?

The last part — I completely agree. Try to get a kid to do long division right now. The multiplication table is starting to be forgotten. Doing square roots, my goodness. Basic math is being forgotten. Does it matter?

That’s my question for you.

Yeah. I don’t think it does. I don’t think it does.

But there must be some set of skills that matter.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But maybe not those. We’re going to discover new ones. Just maybe not those.

There are a lot of skills that don’t matter. My first confession, I actually don’t know my address.

And I ——

I don’t really believe that to be true.

It’s completely true. Janine will tell you and Lori will tell you.

One day I had to pump gas — it was a few years ago. They needed my ZIP code, and I panicked. I didn’t know my ZIP code. I don’t know my telephone number. I forget these things. I can live with it.

But let me take the other side because I don’t want to fall into a thing where, because some skills can be safely offloaded ——

Yeah.

Holy butt plug on the right

He'd look like less of a pretentious dork wearing this than his stupid ass leather jacket.

Best one so far.

I happened to stumble into the wallstreetbets sub and they had a ton of hilarious memes/edits about this issue. Lots of them were slop so I didn’t bother sharing them here.
