The question isn't whether social media is harmful to children, it's whether banning phones in schools will reduce that harm. The hypothesis is that if school phone use goes down children will use social media less, and this will improve their mental health. But we don't know whether that's true or not. It might just be that social media use doesn't go down because kids will just use it after school, and we'd have spent all the time, energy and regulatory capacities to implement a solution that didn't work. Of course the opposite might also be true.

Great interview! And what he said about biotech being a tough sector to work in really resonated with my personal experience.

Thank you!

Good debate! Would love to see some saas ceos defend their position in an ai-enabled world (e.g. salesforce, adobe, etc.)

I would never support banning phones in schools given the propensity of school shootings. Literally had one last week at the school my mom attended growing up. A compromise would be to put them in some type of holder in the class so the kids wouldn't be distracted by them while in case but could reach them in case of emergency and access them as they leave.

I like Elad, but his responses only strenthen my agreement with Sam's point of view on this topic.

Working on computer vision cameras to thwart school shootings. The cameras scan, do a 3d mapping and alert the control center if weapons are found

Can’t we find a way for software to limit kids to 15minutes/hour and 4 hours a day?

SaaS is just a wrapper on a SQL database??? That is like saying a furnace is just a wrapper on fire. Technology always builds on itself.

VC will come back as the interest rates lower.

dont give your kid a phone then. we survived several thousand years without them... jus saying.

Lma yall hate AI, it’s driving yall crazy
