Parts of it may well be deemed "outdated". But the reason college curriculum is structured as it is instead of being a grand industry tour on the Hot Topic Of The Day is that by teaching fundamentals, you teach students *how* to think, learn, and work. AI just bypasses that.

Now, you can ask: "what if my tasks at work are simple enough to where GPT does solve it all, easily? Can't I just use it for that?" Congratulations. You may have discovered the path to being unemployed. If the AI does everything you can do, *why would they keep you around*?

A non-controversial, empirically verifiable fact: above all, we are here because white voters (52% of white women & 60% of white men) wanted us to be here. Any post-election political autopsy that does not CENTER this undeniable fact, is a lie.
