@benkleschinsky When I first went to university and studied physics, in the early 1970s, I started working in the High Energy Physics Department. There was a professor who was a great researcher. Working with her one on one I learned a lot. On the other hand, she was not a great classroom teacher. When she taught a required physics class, the enrollment was low. I really loved and respected her, but this is a symptom of our system. We require, in most settings, that researchers teach. This does not always work out. The advent of on-line resources, such as these MIT courses is, I think, the future of education and research. We should have lots more research institutes and a mostly on-line teaching regime. Then, the best teachers, who might also be good researchers, would do the teaching, and the researchers could concentrate on that.

Just watched the first three minutes. Utter crap!!!! Computers were developed to deal with repetitive and computational problems. They do this VERY well. My father had a cartoon from the 1960s. It showed a row of old style computer cabinets. On the last was button. The caption was, you too could be replace by a button. Turned out not to be true. The fact remains, that computers, even those running AI, or machine learning algorithms, are just adjuncts to human intelligence.
