"With all these perceived AI losers getting shot I can't help but think of a name we used to own but ultimately sold a while ago. $BNED sells textbooks and school merch on college campuses. I a see three obvious risks: [--]. Digitalization of coursework with AI "teachers" communicating the content and administering assignments. That directly disrupts the physical model. [--]. Bubbly and absurd tuition costs coming down as the value of academic degrees to the graduates become pressured by AI. This pressures higher ed revenue streams and may make them less inclined to sign enterprise level First Day"
