Homework will not be replaced in schools. Instead, it will be enhanced by various tools and technologies. Teachers will use tools like Chat GPT to generate essay prompts for students, who will then use these prompts to improve their writing skills. This approach encourages students to think critically and innovate, rather than focusing solely on the mechanics of writing. Homework will continue to exist alongside exams, projects, and in-class assignments, and all of these components will be enhanced by the use of technology.
In his second appearance, Reid Hoffman joined Tyler to talk everything AI: the optimal liability regime for LLMs, whether there’ll be autonomous money-making bots, which agency should regulate AI, how AI will affect the media ecosystem and the communication of ideas, what percentage of the American population will eschew it, how gaming will evolve, whether AI’s future will be open-source or proprietary, the binding constraint preventing the next big step in AI, which philosopher has risen in importance thanks to AI, what he’d ask a dolphin, what LLMs have taught him about friendship, how higher education will change, and more. They also discuss Sam Altman’s overlooked skill, the biggest cultural problem in America, the most underrated tech scene, and what he’ll do next.
