The CEO of Uber says not enough of his employees know how to use AI: 'Absolute necessity' within a year >Schools and companies should start training people to use AI, he said. Yes. The signs are increasing.

Hyper-personalized learning is the future of education and AI is the only way to do it at scale 🤝 Nectir is in over 100 schools across the nation with peer-reviewed research that proves we teach & learn better with ai (gpa went up 20%, motivation to learn up 36%)

This paper confirms my belief that figuring out how to effectively employ LLMs at scale in education is one of the most important research problems of the day (and no, the answer is not “replace teachers with AI”). Huge potential returns, and the worst case is already happening

Reminder to ignore the cheap seats

It's never been easier to cheat in college. For now. What I think most fail to understand is that an AI-integrated learning experience is coming–– and it will be more beneficial, but significantly more intellectually challenging.

Really great to see Ro Khanna stand up for tracking - removing advanced classes from schools is literally the single most unpopular policy we've ever polled

I have good news, and I have bad news. The good news is: the cavalry is coming. We are saved. The crisis will be resolved. The problem will be solved. The bad news is: if you are reading this, you’re the cavalry.

How to think about immigration. You should be paranoid about the possibility that the US rejects geniuses. One brilliant entrepreneur can or inventor can carry a lot of dead weight. Almost all immigration is good, but this would be true even if it wasn't. richardhanania.com/p/exchange-wit…

zero to one work is soul exposing. you’re making something out of nothing, then dragging it into reality by force of will while everything around you & sometimes even yourself telling you it’s dumb, or pointless.

Had to share the most heartwarming use of AI I’ve seen yet. A teacher made AI-generated images of her students as adults living their dream careers (ex: astronaut, football player, cartoonist, veterinarian) 🫶

"Where else in the world can a founder raise $1.4 million in 30 minutes?!?" - Kavitta Ghai 🚨FOUNDERS 🚨 I'm excited to announce that The Pitch Show is taping a new season w/Vox Media this August! Applications are open, we want to hear your pitch! Fundraising for startups is

everyone’s sharing this thread on "cognitive debt" as if it was anything but garbage of course it sounds deep with the "BREAKING," "let that sink in," "AI is making us dumber" but the paper's methods are sloppy, the experimental design doesn't make sense and it's only goal is

This study is being massively misinterpreted. College students who wrote an essay with LLM help engaged less with the essay & thus were less engaged when (a total of 9 people) were asked to do similar work weeks later. LLMs do not rot your brain. Being lazy & not learning does.

The problem with tech is that it’s still largely being built by men who’ve never felt truly connected to themselves, to others, or to the world. It’s revenge-of-the-nerd energy disguised as innovation, and it’s torpedoing culture, intimacy, and meaning in the process.
