I (26M) told my mom (Gen X) about the HuggingFace incident, and she thought it was sci-fi.

I find it crazy how little working-class parents (that's the only perspective I know) talk to their kids about A.I.

My neighbors have gen alpha children, and they just happily ride their bike up and down the same hill over and over all day every day. "Max, quit pulling your sister's hair!" is about the deepest conversation you'll hear with them.

It's such a crazy disconnect to come into my room, boot up my laptop, and read LessWrong and other A.I. news while such mundanities continue as if nothing is happening. If I had a kid, I'd show them every Sci-Fi movie under the Sun and tell them "This is actually happening! Isn't that crazy!?"
