Education in its purest form has never been about the mere transfer of information. But about forming decent humans who can think, cooperate, and add value.
AI optimizing for frictionless "learning" is forcing us to decide whether that still matters.

At stake is the very integrity of the teaching & learning process & the notion that all humanity
"As AI transforms academic labor, much more is at stake than the terms & conditions of our employment. At stake is the very integrity of the teaching & learning process & the notion that all humanity—not just a few individuals—should benefit from the production of knowledge at our universities."
Artificial Intelligence as a Threat to Academic Labor.
Who benefits when AI is introduced into higher education?

AI just ATE the SaaS industry for breakfast. (Nom. Nom.)
Anthropic dropped legal tools Tuesday. Claude makes solo devs full teams. The 40-year SaaS model = toast.
Oracle ⬇ 60%. Palantir ⬇ 36%. NASDAQ ⬇ $1.5T in three days--What!?
Salesforce. Adobe. SN. TR. All getting thrashed.
Displacement.

My dad and I bought the exact same phone. Same red case, same sticky wallet. Never planned it. Chai Voraritskul — Howard grad, research chemist, curious about everything. I didn't realize how much I inherited until I got older. Now I see it in my son. The grace of legacy doesn't ask. It just does.

We’re connecting people who already care about human creativity.

Tennessee's ELVIS Act protects voice and likeness.
California's AB-2602 protects performers.
Both just got a target on their backs from EO 14365.
Federal wants light touch. States want creator protection. Guess who wins?
