Es kommt immer wieder vor, dass Männer in der Paartherapie auf mich sauer sind, weil ich nicht neutral sei, wenn ich bei Gewalt einschreite. Dass sie bei Gewalt „Neutralität“ einfordern, zeigt ja immer sehr schön, wie der Grundgedanke dahinter ist: Gewalt ist quasi normal null. Ein Unterbinden

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.

Great films fact-checked and visualised scene by scene. Is there really such a thing as a “true” true story in Hollywood? informationisbeautiful.net/visualizatio...

A selection of true story Hollywood films is presented with diagrams. Each diagram is a horizontal bar with vertical stripes inside. The stripes represent a scene-by-scene breakdown of the film. The colors of the stripes indicate whether a scene is true, true-ish, false-ish, false or whether that is unknow. For example the Film Selma is shown as 100% true, while the film The Imitation Game is shown as only 42.3% true.

Der eingebettete Beitrag zeigt ein weißes Bild mit schwarzem Text. Der Text des Bildes lautet: „Es war einmal Aschenputtel. Sie lebte in einer Patchworkfamilie. Sie hatten eine Wärmepumpe und einen Saug-Wisch-Roboter. Deshalb gab es null Dreck im Haus. Aschenputtel rauchte gern, daher der Spitzname. Einmal gab es eine Party. Alle hatten an was sie wollten. Aschenputtel war so durch, dass sie beinahe ohne Schuhe nach Hause gegangen wäre. Ihre eine Schwester sagte: „Aschenputtel, deine Schuhe.“ Aschenputtel sagte: „Ah danke.“ Tage später traf Aschenputtel auf der Straße einen Prinz, den sie auf der Party kennengelernt hatte. Sie sagte: „Hallo Prinz.“ Der Prinz sagte: „Sorry kennen wir uns irgendwoher? Ich bin gesichtsblind.“ Aschenputtel sagte: „Ah. Wir haben auf der Party neulich getanzt.“ Der Prinz sagte: „Ach so.“ Aschenputtel sagte: „ja.“ Dann rauchten sie noch zusammen eine.  Ende“
