Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I'm trying to work out what the fuck is up with this school. Like that's a private school fee, sure.

But in what world did this look like a good idea?

for comparison, there's a school that does an online GCSE at £5k/yr full rate, popular with diplomats and expats, but for about half the students it's paid for by the local council as disability support (kids who can't attend a physical school for some reason). I predict everyone involved would shit if they tried this AI nonsense on them.
