I&I - College is for community

So last month, Bryce, you and I sort of landed on a framing of this conversation around scarcity, what will become scarce with ubiquitous AI.

We talked about motivation.

We talked about social skills, human interaction.

David, what do you think of that framing as a way to navigate what we should be doing on a college campus now that AI can do a lot of the work that students have done in the past?

Yeah.

So what you guys talked about last time was right on the money.

And it's the democratization of technology.

Whereas the PC let everyone have a computer on their lap, mobile phones allowed you to have different apps and the ability to get things done at a fairly basic level.

AI allows you to get things done at a fairly advanced level.

So you get access to all the information on the planet.

So it's another democratizer.

So you were talking about scarcity, which is great.

What is not scarce anymore is the skills and the knowledge.

Which over time, that's what universities certainly back in time, and you guys talked about this too, that's what universities were perfectly equipped to do is to transfer knowledge, a deep level of knowledge to students and graduates who could then use them in the workplace.

Well, all of that's been now democratized out to everyone who even doesn't go to college.
