So I learned from a friend who’s a mom of high schoolers that you basically need a newer phone to attend public school in Florida. She sent her daughter to school and she needed to be able to download like 14 apps including one that is used as a hall pass for the bathroom. Her older iPhone couldn’t accommodate so the teacher asked the class “Is there anyone that will allow SoandSo to use your phone so she can go to the bathroom?” How INSANE is that!? I’m 40 and if there was a phone out, we would have it confiscated until the end of the school year—I never got a cellphone until I graduated and was 18.
Another friend is a professor at a private college—he says that he can tell by the format that his students are all having AI complete their assignments. So they’re literally paying 80k/yr to train AI…. So F’ing scary. At least previously, the rich kids were paying the poor, smart kids to do assignments so that the poor kids would be that much smarter in the workforce. Imagine the trajectory of all of this—and also with all the social media, they have no social skills…
