Why is he so interested in having people upload schedules of what their kids are doing?
He's kind of the most evil business man ever, because:
his master, anti-christ thiel demands it thats why.
Avoiding the obvious reference to fiddling, I think these tech companies need kids to be as reliant and addicted to their products as possible. TikTok and Youtube were the trailblazers in the electronic addiction economy.
funny thing is the techbros own kids are shielded away fromthe brainrot, they made sure they go to montiserri private school away from tech. they need future customers, not thier own kids, which would have thier own agency.
And also knowing your children's schedule is a good predictor for wealth.
Because they want the next generations to be as completely addicted to and reliant on their product for everything as possible. And because he's rich, and has rich friends, so... you know. :/
Adults are stubborn and set in their ways. Kids are easier to mould to new ideas.
If they can get the kids hooked on AI tools, they'll run with it until they're old enough to be making the decisions and by then they'll want the tools they've grown up using: AI.
It's a marketing strategy, and an effective one at that.
That, and Altmans probably got a comfortable seat on the Epstein list.

Does sound familiar.

This is what someone needs to push, you know why, I know why, now let the world know why!!
How else are they going to sell targeted advertising?
The actual, boring answer is because family calendars can get complicated quickly and then ore people are involved and updating them the easier it is to miss something. So the use case of "will help you keep track of what the fuck is going on" is a legitimate advertising angle.
In an absurd sense, it's similar to the "oops, we forgot to put the safeties on and our super clever bot totally autonomously did something insanely sophisticated. Don't worry, we fixed it though". Anything sophisticated enough to stalk and harass a journalist is more than capable of planning a meeting.
Anything capable of putting together a podcast about everything going on is more than capable of actually sending you a reliable reminder for a doctor's appointment for your second kid that you weren't told about, or letting you know that you're not free Wednesday at 1 when talking with the repair person.
I have two young kids, complicated health and a demanding international job. A simple calendar app is more than adequate. No "intelligence" required. And why is your bot listening in to your discussion with the repair person, did you ask their permission first? What else is it listening to, and who is profiting off that information?
I get that it's a fun toy, but you really have some big blind spots to paint this stuff as acceptable, let alone desirable.
