And so, for example, today, a lot of people are trying to upskill in AI specifically.
So I think it's a really good course to teach in this respect.
And yeah, I think the motivation-wise, before AGI, motivation is very simple to solve because people want to make money.
And this is how you make money in the industry today.
I think post-AGI is a lot more interesting, possibly, because, yeah, if everything is automated and there's nothing to do for anyone, why would anyone go to a school, et cetera?
So I think, I guess, like, I often say that pre-AGI education is useful.
Post-AGI education is fun.
And in a similar way, as people, for example, people go to gym today, but we don't need their physical strength to manipulate heavy objects because we have machines that do that.
They still go to gym.
Why do they go to gym?
Well, because it's fun, it's healthy, and you look hot when you have a six-pack.
I don't know.
I guess like...
So I guess what I'm saying is it's attractive for people to do that in a certain like very deep psychological evolutionary sense for humanity.
And so I kind of think that education will kind of play out in the same way.
Like you'll go to school, like you go to gym.
And I think that right now, I think not that many people learn because learning is hard.
You bounce from material.
And some people overcome that barrier, but for most people, it's hard.
But I do think that it's a technical problem to solve.
