Are we living in a Simulated Universe? - Highlights - MELVIN VOPSON
Season 11
"If Elon Musk, who is working on Androids, comes to the universities and says, 'I have this AI-powered Android that is programmed to teach quantum mechanics at the highest level.' You put that in front of a class of students, and you will have instantaneous access to all the books on quantum mechanics, all the knowledge in physics, and it will never forget anything, never make a mistake, never ask for annual leave, never be ill and will never ask for a pension, this is a one-off investment for the university and far superior than any academic on the planet. This is the future of education. When is it going to happen? I don't know. I just hope I reach retirement age first because this will happen."
