Excited to see new approaches to education like Synthesis, Duolingo, and whatever cool products people will build with all the latest AI tools.
I’m not sure any of these tools will meaningfully change the cost of college, but maybe they’ll cause people to re-think whether they even want to go to college at all.

Education as it currently stands is obsolete.
Credentialism is dying slowly.
