I am not clear what you are not agreeing to? We shouldn’t question anything and instead assume everything should always stay the same as it always has been?
“AI” in colleges would be the least of my worries when “something something story hour” (had to remove the words cause somebody was offended 
) is pushed as state education policy to be honest with you. College is for grown ups who have decided to get a “focused” education in whatever field they want to be education in. The field of interest can be anything, they are paying for it, they can learn whatever they want. And colleges will be more than happy to get their money. AI pole dancing degree? Let them have it. There are a lot of “phony degrees” out there already. The only important areas would be medicine (science in general), engineering and law. But these have their own evalutation systems in place so at least the infrastructure would be secure (hopefuly). I would support some type of “state regulation” for these fields specifically, in order to keep them away from “politically charged” (something about waking up) obliteration.
Art in higher education is a very complicated topic. I wouldn’t really mess with it. I mean as long as the “history” of it is also taught, people can learn whatever they want to learn, as long as they are the ones paying for it. People want to learn how to use AI to make art, they should be able to. It will be “their” art.
At the end of the day, in a capitalist country, colleges are just another merchandise. You pay cash and buy education. That is it.
Maybe I misunderstood your statement? Yes i agree we should question things and not assume everything should always stay the same.
It was this that caught me off guard because i do think there is a point to post-secondary education and what one needs to get out of it. Otherwise what is the point as you say. Big debt when finished and the education you get out of it has no value. Sorry if I didn’t understand at first and maybe I don’t still fully but maybe i jumped too quick with my thoughts.

I wasn’t trying to imply that there is no point to education.
I was saying we should identify the objective of the education. i.e. Why do we want to be educated?
Then once armed with that information, we can identify how to design the education system to meet the objective(s).
IMO, the current post secondary education system is broken, at least in the US.

can confirm it’s still absolutely terrible in at least parts of western europe
baseless strawman? nowhere he suggested that?
can’t tell if sarcasm or not.
it is archaic in many ways..it really has to be re-thoight/re-imagined. I strongly agree
No it’s a fact!
I heard US schools, other than private schools and home schooling, have given up to teach phonics, a system of how to learn to read and write. It’s particularly helpful for boys from non-academic families, from poor families, from families without native speakers of English. Phonics is said to guarantee that children can read and write within a year of learning. Why this was given up, is beyond me, however it’s been re-introduced into England with good success. (The political force in the UK was, of course, the Liberal Party … not Labour! Labour and teachers were against. Sounds familiar?)
77% of all statistics are made up.
Also, I live in California. And I’ll tell you in the last decade this place has turned upside down. If anyone out there is watching. Do the exact opposite of everything happening here. Literally everything.

Any anecdote to share, a number of EOS users live in Europe, we seldom get news from California other than Hollywood rumors and the wildwires.
I can’t really because there’s no way to do so without also getting political and everyone’s favorite Rick would love to moderate me again I’m sure.
But everything from cost of living, housing, fuel is double a lot of places on USA, making it legal to setup camps under over passes have made visiting the city just awful, not allowing free market but subsiding insurance companies that make millions already. . . The list is a scroll. Look at California. Do the opposite if you want a great place to live.
If California thinks AI colleges are a good idea, do the other thing.

Sounds like the Scottish towards England: “What’s Boris doing? Oh, then do the opposite. Brexit, not good. Early return from lockdown, let’s do a little longer.” The Scotts are very nice people, by the way.
A significant portion of statistics can be misleading, misrepresented, or based on flawed methodologies. Conversely, many statistics are reliable and based on rigorous research.

Yes, This is true because that’s what we are here to do. Moderate!
