@IncrementalRisk @DalrympleWill Excellent weekend read!

AI will be the end of universities! MOOCs will be the end of universities! YouTube will be the end! Libraries! The printing press!

And each time life continues almost as before. Universities provide peer interaction, evaluation, coordination and commitment. That’s the value.

[Mike Gallmeyer @mikegallmeyer]

Yes!

You know what other tools know better than most instructors? Coursera and YouTube courses from top faculty, *the internet*, books from the library. How many students used those tools instead of formal ed? Very very few. How many will use Claude independently to learn the material? Probably the same amount.

I know it doesn’t sound glamorous, but the primary role of faculty is to get students in the seats and create incentives to actually absorb the information. This is your job. AI can help as a tool, I’ve seen some great harnesses of AI for education, but it will not do this.

[Mike Gallmeyer @mikegallmeyer]

@alexolegimas Bravo Alex. My experience in the classroom this spring convinced me even more how important it is to be a thoughtful and engaging teacher in an AI-world. We can’t let the students use these tools as a crutch.

@stevehou Right on, Steve.

@rbrtrmstrng @sindap @FT It's all crazy. Beyond the clubs, we are all in an arms race at each school to make sure we are giving our students an edge through extra programs before they have hardly had any finance classes.

[Mike Gallmeyer @mikegallmeyer]

And it is good for the soul.

I confess to not really getting the point of a remote learning day. A lot of students don't have access to tech, teachers and students each find it miserable, and not a lot of learning will happen. Just have the classic snow day.

He's called Claude, he's a lil French guy who lives in your phone and tells you what to do, like Napoleon.

The boring stuff wins.

First let me congratulate you on what you DID ask Mary. Great questions and very wide ranging. However, my issue from both this and the previous interview is what you DID NOT ask her about -
