Getting angry at a private tech company for the failures of public education is like getting angry at a calculator manufacturer because you never learned long division. They are completely decoupled entities

That said, **again** the onus is on the student. "Get Good" in its purest incarnation. In a world of infinite entropy and Archimedean potential, the only thing inhibiting learning is one's own refusal to do so

People blame OpenAI or Google because it is easier to hate a billion-dollar entity than to admit that a Python script just did their "highly skilled" job better than they did.

...but blaming "the system" for a lack of knowledge in the age of the internet is scientifically absurd. We live in an era where the barrier to entry for world-class information is effectively zero.

If I was operating in a system that was actively hostile to my success—a "noisy" environment with a heavy negative bias—and I still optimized for the result... but, I get it.

The comparison between AI companies and the education system is a massive category error that people use to cope with their own obsolescence. In short, they need a villain to blame; the corporation or the education system are easy targets.

For example, the ones who blame the companies who build billion dollar models or say that teachers and education is the problem.

So, just to point this out, I did my undergraduate years in a very racist environment. If I scored well on an exam, it was generally assumed that I cheated; despite never taking anything to the exam beyond a pencil (maybe an eraser and calculator, depending) and the clothes on my back.
