Hello Frank! Really appreciate everyone's thoughts on the future of education. The current model is very outdated and ready for disruption - but it takes someone who understands both the technology side and the current policy landscape. I was recently elected to a school board in order to drive these changes and would love to incorporate more of your ideas.
Great content! If you have the time. A hallway convo about the different types of AI companies and how you guys view this AI startup landscape developing over time (like when you used that chart to explain the different eras of marketing places... but for AI)!
I dropped out of a masters in management program at a top 30 school in the US because I felt the material was mostly repackaged common sense, with the core skills (finance, accounting, marketing etc) available on MOOCs, Udemy, UA-cam etc. The cost and time spend just wasn't worth it. I started my own business later which is doing well.
Schools below top 15 in the world most likely just waist of time and provide absolutely nothing and forcing you to be mediocre. I dropped out from that kind of school. Traveled country, tried so many different things, worked sales, sold a lot of stuff, starting from cars, homes and insurance and so on. When I turned 21 I did some photoshop tutorials and printed that school diploma. Then get hired and worked 5 years in #1 Fortune company. I don’t hire people who just graduated another university: only top or hustlers.
Education is not only about learn to code, build an app/website, learn marketing and design. What about nanotechnology, chemistry, medicine, biotechnology, microelectronics and so on? I mean something you can't learn yourself from UA-cam. You didn't even mention that.
Good point that those hard science subjects require much more curricular structure and long term immersive and maybe mentored experience. That being said, if the material can be presented and structured in the right way, there's no reason to assume that an online presentation of those subjects can't be successful.
@@paullelyukh2422 well although I agree that labs are useful, I can't imagine that a person without some prior knowledge would have much success in a physical lab both from a learning and a safety perspective. For sure no one will figure out how to run a nuclear magnetic resonance experiment or a dna amplification experiment without instruction of some sort.
@@ianborukho I had a background in mechanical engineering before working in a nanomaterials lab with 50% HF acid which is a weak super lethal acid as an undergrad. I was of course trained by PhD students or assistant professors, but unless you're looking to design your own experiments and not just follow established protocol I don't think you need any coursework, but then maybe they were really good at training me idk.
@@paullelyukh2422 furthermore understanding the nature, purpose and conclusion of your experiments certainly required your prior knowledge as well as some structured information. So while a person can work in a lab by following a recipe or a set of instructions that point to perfect labels, doing the science itself is arguably impossible without a chain of pre-requisite knowledge.
Great session, you give a great overview of innovation dynamics and ways of thinking about it. I recently attended Keen Conference engineeringunleashed.com/ with- 80 universities representing 80K students and 500+ attendees addressing some of these issues from traditional institutions. We should talk.
Li Jin is so articulate with her thoughts. Brings so much clarity to the conversation.

These talks are so on point. Thx a ton.

Great talk as always. I would suggest to highlight key terms on the screen as a text, so that the audience would not missed them.
36:08 How valuable is this feeling?
Great content !
great coverage of the subject!
They are game changers

@@ianborukho They don't require more curriculum, they require physical labs to work in.

Finally we can comment on the videos
I come to say that

Aren't these the guys that invested in shitcoins?
