Commentary

  • Now that information is free, what’s college campus for?
  • This is a beautiful writeup. I have watched talks from IISc professor discussing this with students about the same. If college was just to gain information, then it was already dead in times of google, LLM has just personified the information, but the bigger question is still not distilled in people. Its about connecting with humans, building communication skills, empathy and care in the world.
  • I am not sure with the current pace of technology, education might be able to entertain students, the people need to have open discussions and debate about how to create meaningful time while being in college and what the students really need to learn.
