• Are We Ready? Education in the Age of AI & The Battle for Your Browser

  Alright, buckle up—the internet as we know it is about to get a serious makeover. This week, we're talking about three agentic browsers that are basically giving traditional browsing the middle finger: Perplexity's Comet, The Browser Company's Dia, and OpenAI's ChatGPT Atlas.Here's the deal: instead of you clicking around like some kind of digital caveman, these AI-powered browsers actually understand what you're trying to do and just... do it for you. Need groceries for that recipe you found? Done. Want to compile research from seventeen different tabs without losing your mind? Sorted. They're basically your internet butler, and honestly, it's pretty wild. Sam Altman's calling it "a rare once-a-decade opportunity to rethink what a browser can be about"—and for once, the hype might actually be justified.But (and there's always a but), we need to talk about privacy. Because yeah, having an AI that can do everything for you sounds great until you remember it's watching everything you do online.Now let's talk about something that's honestly keeping me up at night: our education system is spectacularly unprepared for this AI revolution. Like, catastrophically unprepared. We're literally training kids for a world that no longer exists.Get this: traditional education moves on 5-10 year cycles. AI evolves every 6-12 months. That's not a gap—that's a chasm. And schools blocking AI because they're worried about "cheating"? That's not protecting students, that's just ensuring they learn about AI from TikTok instead of actual educators, which is... not ideal.Here's the thing people miss: using AI well actually requires more critical thinking, not less. You need to verify outputs, understand limitations, spot hallucinations. These are higher-order skills. But we're treating AI like it's a calculator when it's more like... I don't know, a really smart intern who sometimes makes stuff up.AI literacy needs to be as fundamental as reading and writing. Full stop. Because students graduating without AI fluency? They're going to get absolutely demolished in the job market. Every single profession—devs, lawyers, doctors, you name it—is being transformed right now.So the real question isn't "should we integrate AI into education?" It's "can we move fast enough to avoid screwing over an entire generation?" This isn't just about education—it's about economic competitiveness. And we need to get our act together, like, yesterday.
