and I want humans to be much, much better in this future.
And so I guess, to me, this is kind of like through education that you can actually achieve this.
Oh, yeah.
So Eureka is trying to build, I think maybe the easiest way I can describe it is we're trying to build the Starfleet Academy.
I don't know if you've watched Star Trek.
I haven't, but yeah.
Okay, Starfleet Academy is this elite institution for frontier technology, building spaceships and graduating cadets to be the pilots of these spaceships and whatnot.
So I just imagine an elite institution for technical knowledge and basically a kind of school that's very up-to-date and very like a premier institution.
Yeah.
With respect to Eureka, I think one thing that is very fascinating to me about education is I do think education will pretty fundamentally change with AIs on the side.
And I think it has to be rewired and changed to some extent.
I still think that we're pretty early.
I think there's going to be a lot of people who are going to try to do the obvious things, which is like, oh, have an LLM and ask it questions and do all the basic things that you would do via prompting right now.
I think it's helpful, but it still feels to me a bit like slop.
I'd like to do it properly, and I think the capability is not there for what I would want.
What I'd want is like an actual tutor experience.
Maybe a prominent example in my mind is I was recently learning Korean, so language learning.
And I went through a phase where I was learning Korean by myself on the internet.
I went through a phase where I was actually part of a small class in Korea, taking Korean with a bunch of other people, which was really funny.
But we had a teacher and like 10 people or so taking Korean.
