Big names in AI and Silicon Valley tech announced yesterday that they're launching a boarding academy for 16 to 22 year olds. (Would you trust the people in this scene with keeping an eye on minors?) theacademysf.com

Let's recall that apparently Sam Altman was in a Discord with a 13 year old in 2020 bsky.app/profile/fain...

Yes, the Andreessen Horowitz-backed big tech boarding school that takes students as young as 16 is, in fact, advertising Tyler Cowen - he of the "if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances" creep article - as faculty.

my ex went to simon’s rock, and yeah he said it could be kinda wild but also it was an actual accredited school run by people who cared deeply about actual education including the humanities

in the berkshires (not a city of extreme wealth inequality)

idk, a lot of SRC students were very wealthy and almost none were from the berkshires

Omg, they don't provide housing! In one of the most expensive housing markets in the country with a 2.4% vacancy rate! 16 y.o.s living in an SRO in the Tenderloin - what could go wrong? And they're not accredited. This is insane! www.apartmentlist.com/research/san...

Something tells me they aren’t interested in enrolling students whose parents can’t afford a modest 5 bedroom in Pacific Heights for their 16 year old to crash in after a long night of experimenting with various date rape drugs in the name of science and increasing birth rates.

Almost correct, these kids will not want to live in Pac Heights though, they will look to buy a Victorian in the Mission where they can evict some elderly tenants out of first.

I really don't want these creeps controlling the housing of their students. That seems like a bad idea

A residential program that doesn't provide housing? Do they know what words mean?
