Why Countries Should Measure Dreams and Ambitions (Just like GDP) | Lance Katigbak | TED
What do you want to be when you grow up? It’s a universal question — and yet at some point, people stop asking you. Drawing on a nationwide survey across the Philippines, consumer researcher Lance Katigbak makes the case that countries should keep track of their citizens’ ambitions and aspirations. His radical proposal: What if…

“10-20 years from now we’ll have abundant energy”… Our consumption is outpacing our building of clean energy sources. If he’s just saying abundant, regardless of the source, then great, the AI teachers can be teaching the students all about the species that died out and what the climate used to be. Sounds like a great plan. Cool commercial for Anthropic and Khan Academy

We will have abundant energy… Fusion will take off and nuclear will see a resurgence. Batteries and solar will proliferate more than they already have. Energy will be near zero and as available as wifi. The transmission / distribution grid needs to be upgraded, but that’s an engineering process, not some unsolvable physics problem.
@GotGaMeR
July 28, 2026 at 4:58 pm
@karlwiley4522Fusion will take off? Says who? So far no companies have successfully sustained fusion for longer than minutes. We’d need to come up with some crazy materials to be able to sustain it long enough and stable enough to be a regular commercial power source.

@FrancescoDiMauro I wholeheartedly agree. The problem is it takes 10-15 years to go from design to a functional nuclear plant. Now maybe if countries had a ton of nuclear plants already in the design or construction phase right now then his claim would hold some water.

No matter how technology advances in future, teachers can never be replaced by AI. For subjects that mainly involve facts or technical skills, AI could possibly provide highly personalised, teacher-free learning. However, education is about more than delivering information. Teachers help students develop critical thinking, social skills, confidence, ethics, creativity, and emotional resilience, areas where human interaction remains important.
Artifical emotion remains artificial. Robotics can never replace human!

Artificial just means made by humans, not natural. But everything in the universe is natural, it’s in nature.
What is real? Real means existing in fact, genuine, and not imaginary or fake. Artificial intelligence is not imaginary or fake. It’s in fact genuine intelligence when it comes to results. Eventually.

I teach adults lots of things, mostly how to get jobs. I’ve been using AI for many years. I’ve made AI personal tutors for myself to teach me various topics (eg market investing) and I have to say if you know how to learn, and how to teach yourself, its already to the point where i would rather be taught by the bot that i made, over a human teacher. That said, i was in education myself for 20 years so I’ve learnt how to learn, and i know what makes a good teacher. Teachers, especially those working with children/young people are going to have to adapt like everyone else in this age of AI, but i don’t think they’ll lose their jobs just yet.

So, I’m not anti-AI, I’m actually a fan. BUT these billionaires have such an unrealistic understanding of what is actually happening in schools and what works and what does not. I’ve been a teacher, in middle school, and I am certain that Social Emotional learning is not going to be the teachers sweet spot for them. I can guarantee that. Like who are these teachers and students that they are imagining????? Teachers are subject matter experts. The reason that our children are demonstrating less proficiency is because the system continues to minimize the teachers’ ability/ time/ delivery of their expertise. Their plan isn’t going to work, at least not anytime soon, because it doesn’t make any sense.

July 28, 2026 at 2:33 pm
The best way forward is to use AI in unison with a teacher, the teacher introduces topics and concepts, and the AI can swing in and teach it to students individually in ways that best fit the needs of that particular student. Think the teacher introducing Newtons laws of motion, then the kids let AI teach them the concepts through music, or sports, or whatever the student can connect with. Many students we also know can’t learn well through technology, especially younger learners.
But this tech is in its infancy, and we’ll likely get it all wrong before we get it right.

Actual AI is just a desperate strategy to maintain cloud industry alive. Cloud LLM is an investment to keep customers dependent of an economic model, where customers pay much and much, like in Adobe strategy, and is owning nothing.
AI is consuming huge resources, destroy environment, and drain more than all powerplant facilities. And than for what: producing hallucinations, fake datas, …

The prospect of AI becoming a personalized tutor for every student and rapidly reshaping the economy is a fascinating technological leap. Islam strongly encourages the pursuit of useful knowledge and technological advancement for the benefit of humanity. However, we must distinguish between technological utility and moral philosophy.
Education is not merely the transfer of data; it is also about moral development and character building. An AI can flawlessly teach complex mathematics or coding, but it cannot impart empathy, justice, or the metaphysical meaning of life. It can process vast amounts of data, but it lacks consciousness, subjective experience, and a soul.
Furthermore, as we marvel at the incredible capabilities of AI created by human intelligence, we shouldn’t miss the deeper reflection (tefekkür): Who designed the remarkable “human mind and consciousness” that creates these algorithms and neural networks? Human engineering should naturally point us toward the ultimate design of the Supreme Creator (The All-Knowing, The All-Wise) who engineered the human being. No matter how fast technology reshapes the economy and the world, humanity’s ultimate purpose, moral responsibilities, and intrinsic need for truth remain unchanged.

Claimed “100K $USD per kid per year” for individualized tutoring. The average public teacher salary in the US is ~75K USD per year. Average class size in US public schools is 21 students for elementary levels and 24 to 27 students for high school levels. So do the math on that… and then band together with another parent and give your teacher a raise for teaching 2 kids instead of 20+. Unless you don’t believe his 100K USD personalized tutoring per child per year claim…

Well, this is horseshit.
Yes, we need better modes of teaching, with smaller teaching groups and better individual engagement. AI is a means, not to repair that, but to sidestep it. Who on earth thinks this is a healthy solution?
And “Anthropic appears to be responsible”?! Oh, well, that’s fine then.

It’s already very clear that students learn more effectively with real books and handwriting, so I only see AI being useful for teachers in terms of helping work on their curriculum and admin. Although all of that will require human verification regardless. Very hard to take the opinions of someone who is on the Anthropic board and directly benefits from use of AI.
