Not Boring: In an AI World With No Safe Career Path, Would You Send Your Kids to HAA?
Not Boring (Packy McCormick) · rss · 2026-09-23
In the original Not Boring essay, Packy McCormick (co-writing with Alex Danco) reflects on the launch of the Horowitz Andreessen Academy — a residential SF alternative-to-college led by Udemy founder Gagan Biyani. Writing as parents, they explore what college actually bundles (life experience, soft skills), how to move with kids' obsessions rather than against them, and the core anxiety: AI is tornadoing through math, law, and modeling — there is no safe career path left, and therefore no fixed educational playbook.
