How HN continues to not expand current progress into any decently significant future timeline is beyond me.

It’s grade school math NOW. But what are the potentials from here?



The potential to have a generation of dumb kids.

Year 2100:

Kids will stop to learn maths and logic, because they understand it has become useless in practice to learn such skills, as they can ask a computer to solve their problem.

A stupid generation, but one that can be very easily manipulated and exploited by those who have power.


Agree. Thank god all calculators and engineers who made them were burned down fifty years ago. Can’t imagine what would have happened instead.


Calculators don’t solve the problem for you. Hence the fact that we have calculator based exams and people still completely fuck them up.

If your apple watch could just scan your exam paper and instantly tell you what to write then why would you ever learn anything?


for fun
