Sorry but Paul is just so out of touch with reality. I’m tired of seeing everyone on HN evangelize this man. He is very intelligent and has done some really great things but times have changed and we need to let the next generation think for themselves. They are increasingly anti-AI. Maybe that pans out, maybe it doesn’t. If I were 17, I’d pursue my dreams — whatever those may be — and learn how to connect meaningfully with my peers. Perhaps that’s naive of me or perhaps that’s what humanity needs most right now. I’d rather let the 17 year old version of me make that choice for themselves.

I’m sure I’ll get torn to pieces for this but it’s frustrating to continually witness people treat a single person’s prose as the Word of God.
