Yeah, I get what you mean. It feels like the same companies that profit off our attention are now building AI, so how can we really trust it’s for good? But maybe if we push for transparency and better regulations, AI could actually help fix some of these problems instead of making them worse.

Because obviously, all those endless family fights online about nonsense wouldn’t happen without social media. Forget education or positive tech like Khan Academy—let’s just blame the platform, not the people using it. That’ll surely fix our completely messed up online culture overnight.

After all the mess social media has created, it’s refreshing to hear someone highlight the potential for good. TED talks have inspired me countless times, and I hope Sal Khan can take TED to new heights! 🚀🤓✨ #BrainyVibes
