Feels like a bit of a useless cliche. Being able to learn has far more to do with iq than any pedagogical technique.

Learning how to learn is the most important skill to acquire in school. If I may add, learning how to learn effectively is a lifetime journey.

Terrible article. Did Hassabis really say ”learning how to learn” is itself a skill, like the article paraphrases it? Surely the skill isn’t that you can learn how to learn, the skill is that you know how to learn. Just like ”learning to ride a bike” isn’t a skill; it’s something you do once, leading to a useful skill.

”Learning how to learn” sounds vaguely insightful just because of the repetition, but if you think for a bit about what it actually means it falls apart.

Imo it's simple, just learn by doing and making stuff.

As a Curriculum Designer and OG dial-up Millennial I agree wholeheartedly. Too late though. Enlightenment, collaboration, and advancing human experience isn't profitable.

In other words, until one learns how to hammer a nail, it's unreasonable to assume knowledge of how to tell another to do so. AI is no exception. It's speed-running US society's final threads being severed, and okay, sigh, here we go. No, I'm not interested in fixing the problems he's identifying.

My ex had a saying from bench science..."if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitant." That part. Off to go live in a van down by the river...

This generation's most needed skill is being born to rich parents.

But it'll be totally different in the next generation. Trust me, bro, I'm rich - so I must know what I'm talking about.
