been saying this for years!!!
Demis Hassabis says in school time should go to people skills, projects, entrepreneurialism, creativity and judgment, the skills he expects to matter most
Hassabis says rote learning belongs outside the classroom, where personalized AI tailors the curriculum to the exact speed and needs of each student
Hassabis says world-class teachers could do the lecturing for everyone, so no teacher builds their own slide decks for the same GCSE maths course

Founders getting ready to do 30 minutes of marketing after 1 year of building features:

I've hired 500+ people as a startup founder.
almost all of my worst hires had impressive LinkedIns
almost all of my best had wild GitHubs and crazy side projects
been saying this since 2016... folks are catching up.
the old education system is like dead dead
there's literally never been a better time in history to homeschool your kids with AI
you can now just prompt it to create an entire curriculum for your kid, give lessons, generate interactive quizzes to see what they're actually learning, explain things in a hundred different ways until they understand, adapt the difficulty and pace to their progress, generate videos, etc etc
you could probably give your kids a much better education in a fraction of the time they'd otherwise spend sitting in a classroom learning the same things at the same pace as 30 other kids
and then spend all that extra time playing with them, exploring, doing sports, reading, traveling, whatever
it's actually insane when you think about it

Neil still hasn't reached his Damascus moment.
My mother was a philosophy professor in Oxford ... and at age 8 I was fond of declaring "If there's one thing I'll never be when I'm grown up it's a philosopher!"
Well, decades later, my science led me to figure out some rather interesting things in philosophy ... and now there's a book of my philosophical essays just published.

Yann LeCun: The AI industry is completely LLM-pilled. Everybody is working on the same thing.
“They’re all digging the same trench.”
“They’re stealing each other’s engineers, so they can’t afford to do something different.”
“If they start going on a tangent, they’re going to fall behind the other guys.”
“It’s one big reason I left Meta. Meta also became LLM-pilled.”
“I cannot imagine that we can build agentic systems without those systems being able to predict the consequences of their actions.”

The right to bear VRAM shall not be infringed.
Unfortunately, a great point by Sam. If we really are in such a memory crunch, in what world does it make sense to have all the world’s DDR distributed across local devices being used only 5% of the day? Inference economics would be much more favorable if memory costs could be amortized over higher utilization.
trust the Internet to ruin good things, like being a polymath. it's only downhill from here.
good time for all techbros to embrace the polymath lifestyle
be interested and curious about math, robotics, bio, medicine, neuroscience, art, music, design, culture, philosophy, ethics, history
we all should be davincimaxxing
