I feel seen 120 years ago
I am hopeful massive LLMs/other models will be an enabler in recognizing and fostering everyone's talents, capabilities and interests in learning with detailed nuance. We'll soon no longer need to whittle down the education experience to fit through the eye of 20-40 needles[0] which all need to be snapshotted synchronized across a classroom like when TV episodes were only available at their exact weekly time slot. We've got like, I don't know, a trillion 32-bit resolution needles to work with now, I imagine we'll find significantly more nuanced and effective ways of learning[1] and organizing hiring/work collaboration with each other.
[0]: Or as the 1890 Scantron predecessor Hollerith Electric Tabulating System called the needle eyeholes, "keypunches"
[1]: Having worked over the years often on school/learning-supporting tech, and using GPT-4 to learn new things, it feels like, FINALLY! One-on-one instruction with direct attention has always been the most OP way of teaching/learning, but extremely cost-prohibitive. This could easily enable widespread hard-to-fathom outcome changes for students otherwise falling through the cracks of the one size fits all education model.
