It can teach your child but can't tell the time. AI, the ultimate grifter.

Touch typing is an essential life skill that needs to taught to all students.
It's more important than driving a car.
Moreover, using AI prompts for novel games as content to be typed would also teach students about writing AI prompts and game design.
I can touch type. But I don't get why it's a skill in itself. I get the physio part, but not te typing 8n itself.
Could you explain beyond using A for B would allow people to use A for B.
'Day' as a subscription service.
If you don't pay, you will not get the new day.
It'll be crept in through a Total Recall style augmented sleep where a week long holiday seems teally only takes a night's sleep.
When normalised, leisure time will becme a subscription service.

Why is typing educational?
How to sit, adjust a desk and chair for keyboard, touchscreen, stretching and mobility exercises, yes. But why typing?

But you’re already trusting Google I assume with your data or Apple who is training AI models. There is no diffeevcd
Victim to Google indeed if I email someone at GMail.
I do not use Apple devices, and I do not use Google services. While certainly not the majority, I don't this is that an unusual position on HN.

But you trust Google, Gmail and a host of other online service providers? How do you know that Google isn’t using your email to train? You either have to trust your service providers or don’t use them.
This is like the early days when people didn’t trust buying things over the internet

If you like bad analogies, why not do car analogies? For example, at least this one's accurate:
I wouldn't trust Sam Altman any more than a used car salesman. The only difference is, Sam Altman's persuaded me to pay him to sell me as a the product.
I first heard about ICQ in 1997 too (UINs were still 6 digits at the time), but dismissed it because I thought it was ridiculous to make yourself always available for messaging. It didn't make any sense to me at all. But, the world had other plans. The next year, when all of my friends were using it, I could only get a 8-digit UIN.
Today, I can relate even more so than ever to my ICQ-skeptic self from 1997 though.
You weren't available all the time then. It was perfectly natural to assume someone wasn't at their computer and that was perfectly ok. It wasn't necessary to give status updates that you would in fact be on time to meet like you said you'd be, things were a little more planned, and you'd call or SMS if really needed but mainly don't want to intrude.
