Top UK university students sit silent in class; "just learn to prompt agents"
teodorio · x · 2026-10-22
A second-year student at one of Britain's top universities (@isabellaslink) complains that despite engaging lectures, almost no one speaks in seminars — only three people talked in one session. She worries these silent students are the country's future lawyers, politicians and financiers, and that youth anti-intellectualism is alarming. teodorio's AI-era take: that's fine — most of them should now just learn how to prompt and oversee agents.
