[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You weenies should read the article. The guy isn't saying that doctors and lawyers and scientists are obsolete. He's saying that spending half a million dollars and 3 years to memorize a ton of information already in books is a waste of money and time. [/quote]

Law school involves almost no memorization, so that's another great example of AI guys thinking they understand jobs they don't do and education they didn't get. I hate the phrase "think like a lawyer" but it's an accurate description of what you learn in law school - skills not information. [/quote]

There’s a ton of memorization in law school and “thinking like a lawyer” is a cheap marketing gimmick to entice 23 year olds at career crossroads to pay 150k+ to listen to smelly boomers talk about their activism in college while the Nixon got impeached. It should be an undergrad major (and it’d be an easy one), no one has to go to grad school to work at Point72 or another megafund, which requires way more intellectual firepower and training than anything in law.
