SungWon is right, and you can just @ him instead of doing this. Language is adaptive to the community you want to communicate with. Use the title that is accurate for who you are talking to.

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...
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.

I also can’t get anywhere without a mapping system now. Never could, frankly. But I’m a big reader. And one of the skills I really value, one of the capacities I have that I really value is an attention span formed on physical books.

You’re a big reader. I’ve read about the kind of reading you do. And there is, prior to A.I., a lot of concern and noticing among college professors and others that the way people use the internet has probably shortened attention spans.
Some skills can be safely given away. Others are valuable. They are capacities that are needed for that flexibility, for that creative thinking, for that focus. It can’t be the case that everything can be traded off.Some skills can be safely given away. Others are valuable. They are capacities that are needed for that flexibility, for that creative thinking, for that focus. It can’t be the case that everything can be traded off.

Yeah. Well, I think that we’re going to lose some finer intellectual dexterity, but we’re going to be better systems thinkers.

Today’s engineers are far better systems thinkers than I was when I graduated from school. But I was a much better transistor thinker.

What do you mean by systems thinker?

They think of large systems. Today’s computers have trillions, hundreds of trillions of transistors in them. When I first graduated from school, the first chip I worked on had 200 transistors. I knew every one of them by name. No engineer does that today. Most engineers now work well above the transistor, well above the functionality, and they’re cobbling things together to do things.

So you need to think much more about systems and interactions of systems. So some of the lower-level knowledge is gone.

The best part of being an artist is that you can just draw whatever dumb idea comes to your head at 1am
A scene parodying the Neon Genesis Evangelion scene of Asuka and her Eva unit getting pierced by the spear of longinus. In this scene, Linguini and Remy from Pixar's Ratatouille take the place of the EVA unit and Asuka respectively. Linguinis eye is pierced by a fork version of the spear and Remy is depicted in an inset where he is grabbing his eye and screaming like the anime. There are anime subtitles at the bottom that say "AHHHHHHHHH!"

Dungeons and Good Guys - Gator Days
Dungeons and Good Guys - Gator Days

Characters

Xark Xide - Demon King - YOU DARE SEEK KNOWLEDGE OF XARK ZIDE THE DEMON KING!? Foolish mortal, you do not understand what you are getting yourself into. Very well, I shall bestow upon you one Xark Xide fact. Ahem, his favorite gift to receive are hand knitted stuffed animals.

August - Alligator - A soft spoken single father who works in IT. Gustopher's dad.

Liam - Capybara - A quiet and introspective boy. He enjoys writing and learning about things. Ember's older brother.

Gustopher - Alligator - An easily excitable boy who loves making friends. August's son.

Hannah - Goat - A highly competitive kid. She strives to be the best and to be helpful to others. Daryl and Seth's daughter.

Olivia - Opossum - A child who is shy until she gets to know you. In reality she's rather mischievous and likes pranks. Polly's younger sister.

Panel 1

A large demonic looking creature with glowing yellow eyes, green skin, and wings is talking to a group of adventurers. He has a malevolent smile and wears a peculiar golden crown with a purple liquid looking substance floating out of the top.

Xark Xide: You have done well to get this far. Instead of crushing you, perhaps I should recruit you.

Panel 2

We're shown that August is playing a table top board game with his son and his son's friends. The four kids are paying careful attention to every detail.

August: The evil Xark Zide invites you to join his army. How do you respond?

Hannah is thinking about this carefully.

Panel 3

Gustopher speaks up first.

Gustopher: Of course we'll say no, right? Right?

Panel 4

Everyone is silent so Gustopher gets louder.

Gustopher: RIGHT!?

Hannah: Well...

Gustopher: WE'RE THE GOOD GUYS!

Hannah's glasses flash with a malevolent red light.

Hannah: But this could be funny.

Liam is taking notes.
