If anyone, especially the Nvidia CEO, tells you not to teach your kids maths, science, coding, art, or personal finance. Ignore him and do the opposite of what he is saying. Teach your kids the skills they need to thrive. Embrace education for all kids. By encouraging critical thinking and a love of learning, you give your kids powerful tools to shape their futures, which also helps build strong nations.

@nixCraft He didn't say to not teach kids math or science. He specifically said to not teach kids coding. I'm an ex-programmer myself, and I agree with him in this day and age.

"Teach your kids the skills they need to thrive."

Exactly. And that can't be done with coding in the age of AI. Not anymore. 20 years ago, yes, I'd say go for it. But not today.

Today, you need to pick careers that AI won't touch for another 20 years. After that time, all bets are off anyway, as robotics is coming too.

@eugenialoli @nixCraft except currently AI is a stochastic parrot spouting crap 99% of the time.

AI don't create or understand it just do ugly copypasta of code written.by someone else.
