For the next 10 years at least the conversations about AI tutoring inside schools will be mostly about policy, and the conversations about AI tutoring outside schools will be mostly about what it's possible to build. The latter are going to be much more interesting.

Competition is good. What isn't OK is when competitors like Neo slander Y Combinator by saying "YC does not offer personalized advice" as they did recently on stage at MIT. YC has 12 group partners including me: When we fund you you get 1:1 advice for the life of your startup.
