I can't speak to the international community at large, but at least in Canada, post-secondary education is not a stream for prospective employees to undergo training. It is a product which is marketed and sold for profit. They will enr

I guess it kind of depends on what a goal post should represent. If it represents an incremental goal then obviously you are correct. I think the ultimate goal though is clearly that AI systems will be able to generate new high-value knowle

Indeed... Pretty annoying that they assume your alternative to be an ICE and not bike/train/ev. Perhaps they should provide an option for a hypothetical price comparison with train/bike? Not sure the marketing team would like
