The Golden Rule is a good starting point if you have a sense of self along with a sense of what you want or need. AI doesn't even have these concepts as of yet. Even the concept of empathy requires this as well. We need to figure out how to instill a sense of self and others for AI to be able to have a morality.

"Do you still physical calculators?"

Well, no. My calculators don't bounce around so I have no reason to "still" them. /s

I have a calculator app that I use 99.9% of the time. I have a physical calculator around here somewhere. I used to use it when I'd have to tabulate physical items or when I'd been doing calculations for a long time. Short bursts on my phone are fine, but over hours is kinda troublesome.

A few critiques.

1. Your base page doesn't describe what topics can or would be available. What are we trying to learn here? Languages? Science? How to be a better YouTuber? 2. You have a demo video. I haven't watched it. Why? Because I HATE having to watch videos if I could read a description instead. I read at least 10x faster than I can watch anything. That applies to learning as well, but some topics do work better in a visual medium. 3. You say its free but requiring me to sign up. To me that's not free. Maybe its not needing my money, but you're still needing my information. 4. Offer sign up/sign in with other identity providers.

TL;DR - Spend some time describing your product to someone who doesn't know need your product, not explaining it like I've tried other products and need shortcuts.

Dang, sometimes the world seems so small. I know one of the names mentioned in the article. And while this was before the duck was known, we did have conversations like that. Communication with another person can really help with figuring out the problem yourself.
