Huang Says Forgotten Math Doesn't Matter - tech
(hx) 11:23 AM CEST - Sep,28 2026 - Post a comment / read (6)
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told The Ezra Klein Show on September 23, 2026 that basic math being forgotten may not matter. He said long division, multiplication tables, and square roots are fading, then added, “Does it matter? I don’t think it does.”

The talk cited a China study of about 26,800 students: AI raised homework scores about 18 percent and cut homework time about 30 percent, while closed-book exam scores fell about 20 percent. Huang also said he does not know his own address, ZIP code, or phone number, and that people will lose some “finer intellectual dexterity” but become better systems thinkers.

My opinion: If a civilization stops teaching math, it does not get “new skills.” It loses the tool that lets people check a machine when the machine is wrong. Math is how you spot a bad number, a bad model, and a bad bill. A society that outsources every calculation becomes a passenger. When the model fails, the grid flickers, or the score is fake, nobody left can prove it. Total dependence is not progress. It is the point where humans stop being able to govern their own tools!!!

why even go to school?! AI knows everything. I am sure I could run a study with 100 stupid people starting that way and ending that way with no difference or, indifference of the World to it.

I mean, the man is clearly a sociopath and because AI makes him stupid amounts of money he adores that shit. Who does he think will develop AI further - ignorant cunts who can't do basic math?

All CEOs are sociopaths. Not knowing your own address? What are you, 4 years old? lmao I bet you are lying your arse off to promote your stupid AI even more, lol

Because the world is full of his kind.
He has everything running after his ass. Why else would people buy cars that turn on lights, wipers, automatic oil levels and even apply a handbrake! The world is regressing to the simplest point that couples that get together can’t even do basic cooking, because they have lived on home delivery all their adult lives.
He doesn’t know his *permanent* address because he has dozens of houses. He’s just normalising what who he is that doesn’t need to answer to anyone.

Remember WALL-e, the spaceship is full of fat slobs that can no longer walk and are pushed about by robots. Because they relied on them so long.
It’s not just younger people.
Go ask people in their 30s if they can wallpaper, wire a plug, change a fuse, check oil/water on their cars. They most likely pay others to do it for them at garages/tradesmen.
Then you have the PC. Basically 100% of all complainants on steam come out with: “this game is shit it just crashes” that’s it. No spec knowledge, no intuition, no problem solving capabilities and worst of all. The inability to think for themselves.
Welcome to Earth 2026 style.

BTW, just looking back at his post “ My opinion: If a civilization stops teaching math, it does not get “new skills.”

So how do you think engineering developed around the world? The biggest largest projects - that (some) still around today; 100s year later.
The Titanic, Big Boy- steam/diesel locomotives, the combustion engine, space shuttles/stations, the wheel!, radio waves etc.

Unlike the shit built today by robots and cheap laziness.

There’s nothing intuitive today, other than shortcuts to make money the easiest way.
