@MasonVersluis @skel JcPenny. $9.99

[mike kashnow @kashnow]

@MasonVersluis That's not even on his top ten list of things to go to jail for...

[mike kashnow @kashnow]

@MasonVersluis @Wealthsimple What is chequing?
Sounds Chinese...

[mike kashnow @kashnow]

@MasonVersluis Which is not at all the same as 'giving them the clap' - which also will find you friendless....

[mike kashnow @kashnow]

Yes! Yes! In every way yes!

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption.

That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time.

Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.”

The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs.

That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone.

But the education system still runs on its logic.

A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait.

Neither is being served. Both are being processed.

Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.”

AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student.

One at a time. Every time.

It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle.

It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done.

A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture.

The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does.

No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill.

Because the math doesn’t work.

AI doesn’t have that constraint.

Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.”

The brain isn’t broken. The format is.

Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes.

That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem.

Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.”

Four years. Six figures of debt.

And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you.

The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance.

Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.”

The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you.

Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace.

The question isn’t whether the old model survives.

It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.

@MasonVersluis Awesome!
Next book can be an autobiography and you can call it

@chriscuningham @Gee__Gazza I, for one, am shocked to hear that there is a bad actor in the crypto space....

@AskWorkspace STILL WAITING

[mike kashnow @kashnow]

@GoogleWorkspace - how is that an urgent issue I raised took you A MONTH to get back to me, and when you did, you gave me a valid-for-24hour-only link AT 6 PM on a FRIDAY?!
AND... when I reached out at 630 PM Sat night when I finally saw it, All I've gotten was a 'dont email again or it'll take longer' email 30 hours later?!
YOU GUYS ARE UNBELIEVABLE

[mike kashnow @kashnow]

@SaraAssaf @doitbigchicago
Thinking of you and sending love to your people.
Praying for real peace. Hashem knows we all deserve it.
Would LOVE to catch up over a coffee on a boardwalk in Tyre together. I hope one day...

[mike kashnow @kashnow]

@AskWorkspace about that happy hand of yours...
When do you think you'll be lending it?

[mike kashnow @kashnow]

@LizaRosen0000 Close your eyes and listen and tell me she isn't speaking Valyrian..
Oh - also, great speech.

[mike kashnow @kashnow]

PM sent JB - I'm ready to wait the usual 72-90 hours for a response. No doubt it will say :
"Please be informed, I have raised another internal request with our specialist team to further investigate the issue. This will take 72 business hours to be resolved. However, I will prioritize and personally monitor the case and keep you posted as soon as I get an update."
I can't Frikkin Wait!

[mike kashnow @kashnow]

@mikeejt Does this ĺoosely translate to "we couldn't figure out how to make money off this shiznit, and now it's clear we certainly can't afford to keep spending on it, so we're gonna try something else"?

[mike kashnow @kashnow]

@MasonVersluis @hedera Nice.
Gotta get a longer sound track... :)

[mike kashnow @kashnow]

@0xPieter_ @MasonVersluis Come to think of it.... I've never seen the two of you in the same room together either.... Hmmmm

[mike kashnow @kashnow]

@mikeejt @ChatGPTapp @grok Yes, @grok is most definitely more 'culturally spot-on' than gpt.
Funny they call it woke, when it seems they're more like 'stuck in a delusional trance'.
Also, I love to order antojitos when I go to my local cantina.... Muy bueno
