AI Highlights from Around the Web
Coding Skills Are More Valuable, Not Less, in the AI Era
AI pioneer Andrew Ng pushes back against claims that programming will become obsolete due to AI. He argues that as coding becomes easier with AI assistance, it's actually the perfect time to learn.
🌶️ AI will help more people code - just as computers helped more people become designers or the internet helped more people become personal travel agents. Those with deep expertise will get the most out of AI, but for more use cases, your curiousity is enough.

Deedy showcases an impressive new capability of Google's Gemini 2 Flash model: removing watermarks from images with remarkable precision.
🌶️ Let’s talk business models that are done. Stock photography will be nearly impossible to protect. The new Gemini 2 Flash is incredibly powerful - and good at watermark removal.
AI Tutors Could Revolutionize Education
Noah Smith highlights how AI-powered tutoring could finally make one-on-one education accessible to everyone. Research shows that personalized tutoring can improve learning outcomes by 2 sigma.
🌶️ I’ve been shouting this for years but it is starting to take root. AI tutors are the future of accessible, personal 1:1 tutoring, which we already know works.
