karpathy's take: in a post-agi world, education becomes less about climbing the economic ladder and more about... entertainment? cognitive fitness? interesting reframe.

he describes learning as going to the gym, for your brain. not easy, not "fun", but deeply satisfying. the mental equivalent of a proper workout.

he also talks about _eurekas per second_ as a design goal for learning, maximizing those aha moments per unit of time. that's a metric i can get behind 🤯

the whole feeling is less "ai will replace you" and more "what if everyone had a perfect tutor?" nice counterweight to the doom takes. worth the listen.
