Community College

Let’s Go!!! 🚀🚀🚀

🎓 This massively open online course on LLM Agents is starting today y'all ... it's hosted by a fellow GOLDEN BEAR and a G.O.A.T. in the fields of AI & ML (Dawn Song) ... go check this out if you're into emerging tech and wanting to help build the future with it. 🐻 This MOOC is free to join (sign up below) ... please DM me if you have any questions and/or commentary >>> https://lnkd.in/gKFjZHSW #aiml #agents #emergingtechnology #education #futurism

Fascinating takes (as always) from Mary Meeker ... this latest work from her firm BOND lays out what's at the intersection of Universities and Artificial Intelligence in the near and long term ... check it out the full report HERE >>> https://lnkd.in/gJSfFqje #education #genai #transformation #futures #university #teaching -- Prompt: You are an expert visual communicator. I'm exploring the theme of "AI's near term implications for Universities and Academic Institutions of Higher Learning" ... Can you create an image for me in the style of Van Gogh that will evoke wonder from a viewer and go nicely with my theme?

Worth paying attention to …

To infinity, and beyond!!! 🚀🚀🚀

✅ Final Presentations and Demo Day for our Redesigning Finance students at Stanford University are now complete … we’re very proud of the ground we covered this quarter, the work the students put in, and the prototypes that were produced and displayed yesterday. 🗣️ A huge shout out to all of the 50+ mentors, coaches, and subject matter experts (some below) that shared their brilliance and time with us to enhance the experience and research over these last 10 weeks … more to come soon from our teaching team on the intersection of Wealth Management, Design, and Emerging Technology!!! 🚀 cc Bruce Cahan , Brandon Middleton , Angela Amarillas , Christine Jun (Call me CJ) , Seamus Yu Harte , Gaurav Khanna , "Sneaker" Steve Patiño , Marc Manara , Katharine Norwood , Edlyn Yuen , Katy Newton , Uday Padyana , Christina Semak , Megan Nieman , Charles Shannon , Mehdi Hasan , Jarad Backlund , Julianna DeLua , Lydia Idem , Emily McDaniel , and so many more!!!

Marc Manara is the special guest who has taken more d.School classes than anyone our Redesigning Finance students have spoken to this quarter. A Stanford University Graduate School of Business alum and good friend … he took on the persona of an end user for each of our 5 student projects and offered some great real-time feedback today from the perspective of a father, a founder, and a futurist. Testing constraints, Validating a hypothesis, NOT Leading the witness, Empathetic active listening, Voluminous and Thoughtful feedback … it’s been some years since he’s graduated but he still embodies all of what he learned at The Stanford d.school from Charlotte , Perry , and others. A huge thank you for the 💎💎💎’s you gave us in preparation for next week’s Capstone Presentations. The students have used lots of GPT-4 and GPT-4o to augment their productivity and supplement their research this quarter ( thanks OpenAI ). It’s a fascinating time to be learning and building … here’s to a more safe, fair, and accessible set of financial futures!!! 😊🙏🏾🥂 #finance #design #education #community #technology #startups #stanford

🦾 Thanks for doing the work University of Chicago … what an interesting time to be alive where we’ll get to decide the balance of how much trust in tech vs trust in humans is appropriate and safe. 🚀 Buckle your seatbelts family, it will continue to be a rollercoaster ride for the remainder of this year and next … to infinity, and beyond!!! https://lnkd.in/g2niKmAm #finance #aiml #research #implications

💯 Completed a week long experiment and it resulted in a wonderful exchange today at Stanford University d.School … we had a community of mentors from Visa , SiriusXM , Green Sands Equity , Amazon , and Amazon Web Services (AWS) act as a Sound Board (which is an outside entity that helicopters in to provide design subject matter expertise to students after the ideation, research, and user interviewing phases of the design thinking process). 📣 Our Redesigning Finance teaching team put out a call and had lots of hands raise to come and assist our class with genuine questions about the need, the market, the constraints, and last the solution prototype. We are partnering with emerging technologies across AI, ML, & Web3 to build solutions to democratize access to ‘Family Office’ level financial advice for regular people who sit outside of the 1%. ❤️ Huge shout out and thanks to our mentors ( Reema , Edlyn , Katy , Uday , Katharine , Christina , Wen , Justin , & Ronnie ) who volunteered their time, expertise, and brilliance … we’ll see you next month for the Final Capstone Group Presentations … if you’d like an invite, ping the teaching team cc’ed below 😎✌🏾🥂 cc Brandon Middleton , Bruce Cahan , Angela Amarillas , Seamus Yu Harte #design #finance #technology #community #mentorship

Did you know that some students in Santa Clara county have $11,391 of annual base revenue allocated to them while others in a different part of the same county have $24,142 allocated to them? You may ask yourself "How can this be? $24,142 - $11,391 = $12,751 is a lot!" To that end, we're highlighting a very important equity and equality conversation that our friends and colleagues at the Silicon Valley Education Foundation (SVEF) have been having and working to communicate more broadly over the last year. Take a look at NBC News Bay Area's coverage of this issue to learn a bit about how you can play a part in the solution to making access and opportunity available to all students (independent of their zip code): Part 1 - https://lnkd.in/g4Q8_WSE Part 2 - https://lnkd.in/g983q7XS #education #equity #equality #stemforall #civilservants
