Yes, please, should’ve happened years ago! It's high time we address the inadequacies of traditional education, AI or not. I’m still bitter about all the years I think I lost to learning absolutely nothing practical / not starting up much earlier 😔

School should teach kids how to crush life in the world they’ll be adults in. Given that new AI magic wands keep appearing every few months, schools should focus less on teaching obsolete skills and more on teaching kids how to be the world’s most amazing wizards.
