And soon, middle-class affordable tutors will become much more available than they already are; I’m sure someone is working on an “Uber for tutors” or whatever. And this isn’t even mentioning the impact AI will have in the next few years of building a curriculum and the one-of-a-kind personalization it will offer to its students. > > Every penny I make is focused on providing my kids with the best private home school education money can buy, so they don’t have to worry about the mundane, repetitive, silly rules and regulations put in place at every “teaching facility” of today. ### [Aug 25, 2024 — @MichaelStolarz](https://x.com/MichaelStolarz/status/1827765593770238384) > what ever happened to devin lmao ### [Aug 25, 2024 — @MichaelStolarz](https://x.com/MichaelStolarz/status/1827758132388577540) > so obesity is pretty much solved with ozempic, right? well, as long as you keep using it, i know, but the same thing can be said about ADHD/adderall/vyvanse/ritalin > > so... again, obesity is solved it seems? ### [Aug 25, 2024 — @MichaelStolarz](https://x.com/MichaelStolarz/status/1827737156149969018) > you know what scares me the most? there are teenagers - even people in their 20's - who don't know how to use a computer. > > no, i don't mean coding, or running a distro - they don't know how to use a computer apart from google drive, docs, powerpoint. > > they do everything on their phone instead.
