Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis argued that "AGI is coming, yet schools are still teaching children skills that AI will be better at — the entire education system needs to be flipped."
Cartoonist Zach Weiner reposted it with a satirical take: if AI can do everything, public school curricula will reorient around creating artificially scarce goods, with a schedule of "making artificially scarce goods, not staring into the void, recess."
