Learning should be about learning. Not jobs. When we tell kids to learn science, math, coding, etc. for the "good jobs" and then the job market changes, it destroys the premise. Schools can do a better job of creating pathways for student interest to turn into powerful ideas.

Couple of days ago I had to go the local DMV. It was chaotic and crowded, but the people there were efficient and kind. The system was working. They had people out on the floor translating, redirecting, explaining. Just a reminder that government has to work for everyone, and sometimes it does.

This is a fantastic book. Written in a straightforward and concise manner by someone who knows what we need to hear about AI and learning. My copy arrived a few days ago, along with another yellow book. Both wonderfully calming and inspiring to read given the brain-cycle stealing current events.

People who say “you can’t throw money at a problem” often throw money at their problems. They just expect other people to suck it up.
