00:00If we teach 50 students how to be the next Amodai or Zuckerberg, I think we'll be very happy with
00:06that result. And I think that the benefit to society is immense when people go and build
00:10great things. I'm not as much of an AI doomer. I'm an AI boomer. We're going to look back and
00:15this is going to be one of the greatest times in human history. I think on a very micro level,
00:19the skills are changing, but at a macro level, they have never changed. Really, they're just
00:22becoming more accentuated. So the idea that you need to be ambitious, have good systems thinking,
00:28ship things into the world, have high agency, those haven't really changed throughout this
00:34entire era. The specifics of what you're building and what you're using to build do change, but that's
00:38exactly why we do not have a curriculum that is highly narrow. We're not like, we're going to
00:43teach you how to use cloud code, or we're going to teach you how to use ChatGPT codecs. No, our
00:48view
00:48is that you will choose the tool that is most useful for the product and service that you're
00:53trying to build and the way in which you want to build. As long as we teach you how to
00:56build things
00:57and how to build things that make a lot of impact and people love, then it doesn't matter what tools
01:01you're using.
