If anyone, especially the Nvidia CEO, tells you not to teach your kids maths, science, coding, art, or personal finance. Ignore him and do the opposite of what he is saying. Teach your kids the skills they need to thrive. Embrace education for all kids. By encouraging critical thinking and a love of learning, you give your kids powerful tools to shape their futures, which also helps build strong nations.

@nixCraft “Do the opposite of what a CEO says” should be thought in primary school.

@nixCraft AI is doing nothing to help with the loud spinning fan noise and crashing proprietary driver.

“I myself shall certainly continue to leave such research to others, and to devote my time to developing concepts that are authentic and trustworthy. And I hope you do the same.”

Nvidia : Learn farming, not programming.
Farmer : [Jailbreaks tractor] Ok, now I can actually use it properly.

@nixCraft It is insane how much people listen and repeat notorious people without thinking of the biases of their comments. He has been hyping the nvda/ai bubble for years and made himself very rich on the way.

The Nvidia CEO is telling people not to teach their kids STEM, art, and personal finance?

@nixCraft Before accepting advice from someone, consider if that person wants you to be better or dumber. A rule of thumb is usually people with whatever power over you (financial, political, physical, ...) want you to be dumber because it's easier to secure their power that way.

@nixCraft He didn't say to not teach kids math or science. He specifically said to not teach kids coding. I'm an ex-programmer myself, and I agree with him in this day and age.

"Teach your kids the skills they need to thrive."

Exactly. And that can't be done with coding in the age of AI. Not anymore. 20 years ago, yes, I'd say go for it. But not today.

Today, you need to pick careers that AI won't touch for another 20 years. After that time, all bets are off anyway, as robotics is coming too.

@eugenialoli @nixCraft but there’s a difference between “don’t make computer science your only focus” and “don’t teach your kids to code”

There’s much value in learning to program software even if it becomes much less lucrative as a career
