This is the main thing I keep saying. I don’t presume to know whether AI is bad at EVERYTHING but the main thing it can’t do is what the powers that be in education want it to do and the reason I keep saying it is you don’t need any studies

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:
"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."
