So I think the trickiness is always calibrating yourself to what exists.

Yeah.

So I think it would change over time.

So I think right now it would be hiring faculty to help work hand-in-hand with AI and a team of people probably to build state-of-the-art courses.

Yeah.

And then I think over time it can, maybe some of the TAs can actually become AIs because some of the TAs like, okay, you just take all the course materials and then I think you could serve a very good like automated TA for the student when they have more basic questions or something like that, right?

But I think you'll need faculty for the overall architecture of a course and making sure that it fits.

And so I kind of see a progression of how this will evolve and maybe at some future point, you know, I'm not even that useful and AI is doing most of the design much better than I could.

But I still think that that's going to take some time to play out.

No, I will hire faculty, I think, because there are domains in which I'm not an expert.

And I think that's the only way to offer the state-of-the-art experience for the student, ultimately.

So, yeah, I do expect that I would hire faculty, but I will probably stick around in AI for some time.

But I do have something, I think, more conventional in mind for the current capability, I think, than what people would probably anticipate.

And when I'm building Starfleet Academy, I do probably imagine a physical institution and maybe a tier below that, a digital offering that is not the state-of-the-art experience you would get when someone comes in physically full-time and we work through material from start to end and make sure you understand it.

That's the physical offering.

The digital offering is, yeah, a bunch of stuff on the internet and maybe some LLM assistant and it's a bit more gimmicky and a tier below, but at least it's accessible to like eight billion people.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I think there's going to have to be a lot of not just education, but also re-education.

And I would love to help out there because I think the jobs will probably change quite a bit.
