      If someone’s toddler starts talking about how AI is a paradigm shift I’m going to dropkick it

        At least the toddler has an excuse for parroting an idea that has virtually no semantic meaning to them-- That’s what toddlers do. The venture capitalists though…

    Baby-talk is a universal human phenomenal and almost certainly plays an important role in helping kids learn language.

    The implication that not using baby talk somehow unlocks rapid development of language is simply not true.

      Idk man. There’s this 3yr old girl that’s a child of one of our family’s friends. She’s pretty expressive with her vocabulary. Like i can have full blown conversations with this girl without dumbing much down, and i think that might be due to her parents’ pedanticalness.
