Yeah, you know, in general, I think a lot of, like, any kind of learning of math and science and any of that, like, can be driven forward with AI, and you're going to start seeing a lot more of that, too. You know, and there's probably lots of ways in which I think people already are learning in higher ed, like, what would Plato think of this based on this?

Yeah, well... I mean, a lot of the university experience is about being around other young adults who are exploring the world and learning and interesting professors and having an intellectual environment where you're socializing with and you're exploring ideas with other people. And I think it's really important to have this in-person experience.

I think that's a key part of what makes universities this amazing thing. And so I think that's not going to be something you just have with AI. You have to have people around you. You have to be learning. You have to be... debating things in a classroom. And can AI make some of that better and augment it? Certainly.

Oh yeah. I, uh, I was in the dorky fraternity at Stanford. I have friends who are in the cool fraternity. So then sometimes they would still be my friend back then, which was nice. Ended up working for me later. So it's good. But, but like the dorky fraternity, and I remember going to spring break and back then my friends like, Joe, you can't tell the girls that you're a computer scientist.

And these places now are more broken than they were, but, but there's still a lot of wisdom to how they were structured and why they were structured that way and why you had your eating clubs and whether it's a fraternity or some other kind of, you know, group or whatever.
