Musk is potentially the single greatest allocator of capital in the world. He is uniquely accomplished in taking on enormously risky projects with a low perceived probability of success but with high potential to positively impact society…and he delivers.
We should be looking for ways to maximize the impact he can have, not reduce it.
Yeah but I think a lot of that is a result of people not taking enough ownership of their lives/opportunities. The standard should be continuous development towards the skills that society is expected to value in the future, not purse clutching to preserve their ability to keep doing the same things they’ve been doing for years/decades despite society valuing those skills less over time as things evolve.
People aren’t owed jobs that provide a certain level of fulfillment, quality of life, income level, etc. Jobs are intended to provide a service to society, and if society doesn’t sufficiently value something (either because it is becoming increasingly obsolete or because those skills are abundantly common), those jobs should pay low wages. Wages are an incentive to balance supply and demand.
@omgsidewalks Under socialism, that labor would produce far less fruit, and a higher % of the fruit that is produced would be those people do not value/desire
Our public education system is already a disaster, and they’re going to make it even worse.
AI, when applied thoughtfully, has the potential to transform learning outcomes by tailoring the educational experience (including content, pacing, feedback, reinforcement, etc.) to each individual student.
The 30:1 model is not optimized for performance, it is optimized for scale.
If the goal is to optimize for performance, the ratio would be inverted, but that doesn’t scale and would historically only be feasible for the ultra wealthy.
AI is changing this, but the public education system lacks the self awareness and agility to do anything about it.
The two largest public school systems in the country, New York and Los Angeles, are banning AI for at least some of their students this school year. https://t.co/87KYL12Mfn
