I, for one, welcome our new dopamine overlords.

It is still early days, but the oncoming flood of AI content is inevitable at this point. Since modern content is meticulously engineered to snipe children into jumping for the beef with perfect efficiency, killing their reward center instantly, we are well on track to revolutionize education.

The Adtech era is over. Addiction science as an industry shall bring forth the age of brainrot maxxing.

As always, the eternal refrain: “the kids are alright”, but wow, the adults, they look like they’ve lost it.

I think these adults are misguided at best.

~“Kids diets are causing an obesity epidemic so teacher brings sweets to class to encourage them to eat.”

Was there a subtle insinuation that they are being paid off to promote these tools?

I am all for getting creative with teaching, but I think the creativity should stem from the actual material.

Subway surfing is incredibly dangerous with zero upside. Bringing videos of people doing that into a classroom is despicable.

He who controls the spice controls the universe.

Honestly can't wait. Feed me info in dopamine adjusted methods. My spicy meatball brain finds old methods boring af and an absolute chore. Can learn at 10x with the new ways. Much like the meme watch a 4hr movie in one go? Meh. Feed me a 10 hour movie in 14 40ish min episodes? Hell yeah!

Education needs to strap itself in and get with the times. No point holding onto the old ways just because it's what we did as kids. Wanna feed em a 60 min lecture? Give em 30 to 60 small clips of high interest action!

> (you can choose from voices like “Sam Sigma,” “Gabi Gyatt,” or “Sara Skibidi,” referring to somewhat meaningless words that are popular among young people who spend a lot of time online)

I find this hilarious because kids know what these words mean as much as they know what any word means. It's adults that don't know what they mean. Unless, of course, they bothered to stop and educate themselves.

Edit: The more I read of this "article" the more I realize it's just rage-bait. sigh
