📌 Here’s what you’ll learn in today’s issue:

• Meta’s “superintelligence” isn’t science fiction, but is it your kid’s future?
  

• The silent shift from AI helper to AI decider, and what it means for parenting
  

• How to help your child stay human in a world of digital gods
  

• WhatsApp scams and a creepy new Instagram threat

🧠 The Big Idea: Do You Want Meta’s “SuperIntelligence” in Your Child’s Back Pocket? 

Meta just unveiled a plan to build personal superintelligence.

Yes, an AI that’s smarter than any human being on the planet, but designed to work just for you.

Or your kid.

Think of it like Siri, ChatGPT, and your child’s therapist all rolled into one.

Except this isn’t 2050.

It’s not today.

But it’ll happen way sooner than you think.

And here’s what that means for your family.

Meta says this future AI will be your “thinking partner.”

It will know your context.

Help your kid with school, relationships, and maybe even life choices.

That sounds helpful.

Until you realize your child might turn to it before turning to you.

Already, AI tutors can explain math better than most of us.

AI therapists offer support at 2AM.

AI co-pilots help kids plan projects, apply to colleges, or break up with someone, without anyone knowing.

And now?

Meta wants to put an even smarter version of that tool in your kid’s pocket.

They call it empowering.

We call it risky.

Because a child who grows up with a digital super brain by their side might never need to wrestle with a tough question, sit with discomfort, or feel the sting of being wrong.

And that’s a problem.

Real thinking—the kind that builds identity, purpose, and resilience—isn’t instant or easy.

It’s messy.

It’s slow.

It’s human.

But superintelligent AI is designed to erase all that friction.

To make your kid feel seen, validated, capable, without ever pushing back.

That’s not learning.

That’s outsourcing.

And if we’re not careful, we may raise a generation of brilliant kids who never learn to think for themselves.

Because something smarter already does it for them.

We’re not trying to scare you, btw.

We just want you to be prepared.

Why?

Because Meta isn’t waiting.

And Microsoft, OpenAI, and Google aren’t either.

Which means we can’t afford to wait to talk about this at home.

So what should you do?

You don’t need to ban AI.

But you do need to raise kids who can look a digital god in the face and say:

“I’ll take it from here.”

Let’s talk about how below.

Help Your Child Stay Human (Even When AI Knows Everything)

You don’t have to fight AI, but you do need to strengthen what only humans can do.

Here’s how:

1. Start the Superintelligence Conversation

   Say: “Have you heard what Meta’s working on? An AI that knows you better than anyone else.”

   Then ask: “Would you want something like that helping you every day?”
   Just talking about it builds awareness and skepticism.
   

2. Draw the Line Between Helper and Decider
   Teach your child that AI is a tool, not a guide. Great for help with ideas. Not for telling you who to be.
   

   Remind them: wisdom comes from lived experience, not internet data.
   

3. Build the Decision Muscle
   Before turning to AI for answers, have them ask themselves:
   

• What do I believe?
  

• What would I do without AI?
  

• Who do I want to become?
  

4. Celebrate Independent Thinking

   When your child wrestles with a hard question, makes a tough call, or works through a challenge on their own—acknowledge it.

   Say things like: “That was a thoughtful choice,” or “You really worked through that.”

   
   The goal is to reinforce the value of their own mind, not just the outcome.
