AI is gobbling expertise — and schools can't keep calling that someone else's problem

AI is gobbling expertise — and schools can't keep calling that someone else's problem

The sharpest AI story here isn't a new model. It's the argument that AI is grabbing the exact same work schooling has always been focused on — and that students are being set up to compete with AI rather than collaborate with it. The fix isn't a policy tweak. Critical thinking, relationship skills, and creativity can no longer be add-ons; they have to become the whole point. The pitch is for schools to embrace generative AI, prioritize human potential, and build deeper learning that develops higher-order thinking skills.

Gobble's Take: If AI is eating the homework, the curriculum can't keep pretending the homework was the meal.

Intel, chip packaging, and the bottleneck nobody was watching

Two stories worth stacking together. Intel is showing signs of a turnaround after a stretch of plummeting sales, soaring costs, and mounting debts — helped along by a U.S. government stake of 10 percent. Meanwhile, chip packaging is getting its overdue moment: it's emerging as a new chokepoint in AI infrastructure development, with TSMC dominating the advanced end and lower-end packaging concentrated in Southeast Asia. AI demand keeps finding new weak links in the chain.

Gobble's Take: The AI boom doesn't have one bottleneck — it has a queue of them, and packaging just moved to the front.
