I am all for disruption. But it is interesting to me that a constant drumbeat from Silicon Valley is that higher education is not working...even though they are all a direct reflection of it's value and is if American higher education isn't the envy of the world....
Big names in AI and Silicon Valley tech announced yesterday that they're launching a boarding academy for 16 to 22 year olds.

(Would you trust the people in this scene with keeping an eye on minors?)

As a result of @benjaminjriley.bsky.social's most recent Alpha School reporting, all who have been saying "AI has a Mechanical Turk problem" - that is, "artificial intelligence" is actually the cognitive labor of humans in the Global South - get to take another victory lap.

They must be winded.

AI is the Gyges' ring of student work: it offers perfect concealment of wrongdoing.

If Glaucon is right, then everyone will use it to do injustice (cheat), & will be wise to do so.

If Socrates/Plato is right, then doing so also harms the wrong-doer, whose soul will be malformed into misery by it.

New global polling finds that people are much more likely to say AI will increase than decrease the gap between the rich and poor.
In the United States, 46% say AI will increase economic inequality, compared with just 5% who say it will decrease it.

Let me get this straight. 16-22 year olds can go to this place for 2 years to learn how to build AI models? In an industry where the cutting edge work is done by PhD math and computer scientists? Mmkay.

The cool thing about AI is that it finally ended that annoying trend where electronics got less expensive year after year.
