Episode notes
Universities Face Curriculum Irrelevance
- Universities risk irrelevance because curricula can't keep pace with rapid AI-driven skill change.
- Credentialing value shifts to network, acceptance, and demonstrable work rather than degree completion.
Credentialing Unbundled From Education
- College historically functioned as credentialing more than unique instruction.
- Unbundling allows credentials from portfolios, YC, or acceptance to replace degree permanence.
Spend Endowments On University Compute
- Universities should deploy endowments to build AI compute clusters and teaching infrastructure now.
- Prioritize providing massive compute to maintain research leadership and attract talent.
