Get rid of academic terms, so that the finals don't all fall in the same week. Probably a hard sell.
Be less obsessed with evaluation and grading. Which probably means people have to be less obsessed with having a credentialing and gatekeeping system while calling it an "education" system. Probably an even harder sell. Although since the next step is for the AI to eliminate the need for credentialed humans, maybe we get it throught the back door.

- Hizonner 10mo agoI'm more expecting a dystopian age of scarce-for-you closeted space fascism, but neither one is going to have any use for your work or care what degrees you have.
- eszed 10mo agoIndeed, me too. If I didn't have a family, I could even deal with that: living in a closet, eating mush, and studying the golden age(s) of humanity would be... fine, I guess. I'm too old for a revolution, and I could pass what time I have left like that. But, my kid's future I worry about.
