GoKawiilEssay: A new father questions what to teach his son in the age of AGI
The writer, expecting his first child, reflects on Neil Postman's 1995 book The End of Education and historical predictions about technology replacing teachers, including Thomas Edison's 1913 claim that books would soon be obsolete. He revisits his own 2013 prediction that MOOCs would transform education and notes that institutions like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton have persisted for centuries despite shifting purposes.
