No one is willing to pay for this. Bloom’s 2 sigma problem is from 1984.

MOOCs were the hope for education but that didn’t take off either. Now any remote learning will need physical examinations, which make certification pathways for everything more expensive.

Even if you want to study, our distractions are crafted by people who spend hours figuring out the right dopamine reward schedules to keep you distracted.

I don't think so. Proving you can pass a test is pretty useless imo. Especially when it typically boils down to a memorization test and the subject matter is largely irrelevant.

Proving you can pass an open book test ? Or doing graded assignments?

That wasn’t something possible prior to LLMs. Being able to cheat code or generate homework assignments was not this trivial either.

I think people need to figure out how to demonstrate they can add value on top of AI rather than showing they can do it all from scratch with a "closed book".
