If you have some form of financial independence in your life, some form of the grid backup, you know what is all this about. Did you think the richest of the elite will give their kids this form of education? Seriously? My kids learn in a classical way. No aid, no electronic devices, no "modern" bullshit. Critical thinking is a must in a world of corporations greed and digital dystopia. The school mandatory program is just a form of training ground. They learn how to see the real problems around and how to adapt to ever-changing hypocrisy. Never trusted a word coming from the corporate monster Microsoft. Never looked at Bill Gates as more than a greedy manipulator and sociopath. Downvotes don't change the reality:)



The elite will give their kids this education when it is better than what a team of dedicated humans can provide. We are no where near that stage though.


I agree the endgame is turning all education (and other areas of society) into McDonald's type crap because it's cheapest to offer.

But it's weird to make this about Microsoft when AI is being shoved down our throats from all directions. Like you said, it's a "world of" greed.


Greed is contagious. But looking at Closed AI and seeing Azure all over it is not easy to ignore. Looking at hostile takeover of FOSS at GitHub to train commercial product Copilot is another thing. We all knew the strategy when they bought it, and we all complied with the move. They have power because we refuse to challenge the lack of intervention from authorities. It is all a big scam.
