Maybe the kids are gonna be alright, after all.

AI is just one of several serious existential threats the kids will have to deal with. They're far from alright.

"The kids are alright" does not mean that the world where the kids live is alright, it means that the kids are alright. 😅

We got THIS close to being done with nicotine and bullshit in the air in daily life, and then the kids discovered vaping.

At best, the kids are in the aggregate no better or worse than the generations before them. No generation is going to save us from stupid when stupid is part of our species' DNA.

The Epstein class is their biggest threat by far. AI and what they do on private islands are just two of many reasons to get rid of billionaires.

Anecdotally, all our young family members don't trust A.I. at all.

Once, I asked it a question as a joke, (I think it was about "Labubu"s or something I'm out of touch about); they told me it sounds like fake news 😂. I asked the tool if we could trust it, and it said something like "no, don't trust me", which was hilarious.

I think kids these days have a good bullshit detector, by necessity.

But older people still trust surveys. So no, we're doomed.
