That Pi article certainly got more than a few raspberries from me! To start, the author really went overboard repeating obvious points in various ways. I mean the whole article could have been written as: Just teach kids coding as one of many methods to help grow their intellects. Hell, if we don't start doing that soon, regardless if it's coding, math, writing skills, whatever, we are going to become a society of complete morons. I know, I know... you need FreeBASIC for that!
Things like this remind me of the Chinese when they invented gun powder. Sure, you could teach your kids kung fu at the local drive in Shaolin Temple, but any idiot with a pistol... Steve, stop staring at my avatar... could take that fool out in two-seconds. In terms of power, the shift in the county was significant. Use guns or die!
So I think in this age the education system needed is similar to what a successful race car driver requires, a great deal of experience using the tool rather than an extensive knowledge of how to build the tool.
What I think is lost on some folks is that most of this AI push is being done for reasons of national defense, and not the crap they spew at us like advancements in pharmaceuticals. Future armies will be made up of AI drones in some kind of Faraday cage. I suppose that's good news for all the fat and lazy kids I see so prevalent in American society today, but I can't see a clear picture of how it will ultimately improve humanity, unless we overcome or subdue the threats that could or will arise, and trust me, the moral and ethical side is always brought up, as it was in that paper, but NEVER prevails. It's jut said to make people think our intentions are pure.
