Agree...there's just so many ways to game this. Time will tell. The biggest thing that assuaged my skepticism was the fact that they're not just making apps they're doing a whole immersive school which imo makes it more likely they don't leave massive gaps. They spend like 2 hours with AI trying to get max personalized curricula then they hang out with teachers + students doing physical activity, learning life skills and doing entrepreneurial skills. Broadly, that sounds like more of a 21st century success primer than the Kafkaesque system we have now.
Jury is still out on Alpha School but it is encouraging to see alternatives to the current clown world system. It's also cool that she's a local entrepreneur like most of us at @PlebLab. I wonder if we will cross paths with her.

The best course i took in college as an EE was called Neural Engineering and it went over a lot of the basics on this stuff at a circuit modeling/computational level.
The part that blew my mind was when they tied up a chimp and read its motor cortex to move a robotic arm. It figured out how to feed itself a banana.
