I guess prolific em-dashes is not considered a sign of LLM writing anymore.
Education is so cooked. In 10 years, people arent going to find it useful financially. The AI will be better at economically relevant thinking. And there aren't enough hobbyist learners to sustain education at its current level.

AI is an opportunity to improve true education and learning on an individual and community level based on free association without the authoritarian and violent hand of government imposing lowest common denominator uniformity on everyone to produce uniform and manageable, profitable pseudo-citizen cogs.
You can think what you like about MIT, but at least they're giving it some thought, however perfunctory it may seem. Many German universities prefer to try and ignore the issue and hope for the best.
I mostly think about what they did to Aaron Swartz.
This is a bunch of fluff. I hope at least the snacks and lunches during the discussions were good. "Guiding principles: Be bold. Be humble. Put humanity front and center. Lean into learning. Teach with intentionality. No one size fits all." "Recommendations: Adapt educational processes for an AI-aware world. Center people, community, and the residential experience. Build processes, teams and tools for continuous refl…
They have always dressed it up as concerned humanitarianism. They did it already with large donations in the past: https://www.philanthropy.com/news/can-a-350-million-gift-cha... All concerns, while the real goal is stated right in the article: "With this new approach, he says, experts in many fields can gain a deeper understanding of AI so they can better harness it. Meanwhile, computing experts are gaining greater…
MIT is so very, very overcapitalized.
These things don't lead to anything other than a rich guy getting his name on a building, and more corruption in academia. By far the best thing which could happen to MIT would be for 95% of the endowment to go up in a poof of smoke, bringing it back to nineties levels. That's the end of the period when the Institute did high-integrity research.

How is this interesting? Sincerely? Tell us more about how MIT giving AI some thought compares superiorly to 'many German universities', and please tell us more about which German universities and in which circumstances.

My statement was more of a dig at German universities than a compliment to MIT. I understand your criticism of this institution (which doesn't even exist in that form in Germany), but that doesn't mean I have to reflexively condemn everything from there.
I'm just ignorant to German universities. Honestly, the only thing I know of is not even University level German education, but just the concept of the German gymnasium system, and that was from when a exchange student visited my high school, in the 1990s!
Thanks for the response. Cheers.

In this particular case that makes the message more trustworthy for me ;-)

I figure once it collapses I'll transition into being a tutor for some billionaire's kids at roughly triple my current salary. :)
