I agree with the connections you are making, and I have founded the Sentient Syllabus Project precisely because I see academia at the intersection of the human side, and the economy. But I am increasingly skeptical about the traditional division between standardized and unique tasks, and definitely no longer confident that the edge we have over AI regarding creativity and flexibility will last. What is needed is a different quality of work, and for that, we need to define how specifically human qualities translate into exchangeable value. I'd like to invite you to have a look at some of the analyses on Substack – perhaps start with the educational objectives https://sentientsyllabus.substack.com/p/how-much-is-too-much – and to get in touch, let's see if this develops into a conversation. Thank you for sharing your insights.
