Sam Altman is still making the case for parenting via ChatGPT

being a parent doesn't mean squat shit or we'd have a much cooler world. every dimwit on the planet including me could become one in no time whatsoever and serve a mostly fine environment to grow up. but the less wit you have and the less time your parents had, the more likely it is that your kids proximal environment sneaks a lot of dodgy messages & info onto your kids peripheral, hypocampus, prefrontal cortex ...

I've seen that happen "mostly only" when kids don't perceive a growth-promoting effort by their parents or when such efforts fail due to "environmental factors", which is, of course unfortunate.

but even without those magnificently maleficent trolls, using some collected knowledge from books in much less time than one has to feed yourself and your kid stuff that fosters a connection between a kids curiosity and their parents manifested intents sounds rather normal ...

so yeah, .... “What if you just talked to your children”? ... 300 - 600 hours overtime in a job that constantly creates damage & fatigue that makes you lose your shit a bit easier and leaves you with less concentration than needed to prepare some material for or with your kid ... should speak for itself.

and enough people with much better jobs than outlined know exactly what they would sneak in without some proper effort they just don't have the time for ... ( or hate what they let their job or their social circle "turn them into" ) and don't get me started on schools and teachers and the schools of thought they subscribe to locally and globally ...

but things are easier if you spend most of your time aligning fantasies and other bits that your lobes throw at you when activity in your Limbic System/Default Mode Network is met with adequate neurochemistry .... ( I'm referring to that Gravity Falls writer who tweeted some obvious, "cool" answer )

Sam Altman's parenting experience is surely extremely different to most peoples. Can't imagine he has changed more than one diaper in his lifetime.

From the post:

> Altman’s post prompted lots of virtual eye-rolling, including a simple response from Alex Hirsch, creator of the animated series “Gravity Falls”: “What if you just talked to your children”?

Couldn't have said it better myself.
