It's the kids whose teachers can't or want to adapt that will most likely suffer in their education. Not saying it is easy, but it is possible.
I have a friend who's a teacher that is pioneering methods to include (modified / preprompted) LLMs as a part of their lessons. He calls it Modern PBL: Project-Based Learning. He wrote a book on it if you are interested:

This is such a weird take. Teachers could teach LLMs, but that doesn't solve the problem. Kids still need to practice skills that an LLM could do for them.
Several years ago I spent a great deal of time thinking about how to create something like this, glad someone did it!
My vision went beyond this into allowing users to create their own channels (still only identifiable by a channel number) which would basically just be a playlist. I think a better idea now would be to have them add a list of channels and have it randomly play videos from only those channels and have that interrupted by anytime that channel is live streaming.
No way! The Internet is a small place. I remember seeing your original post and feeling very inspired to do something similar. One of these days I will find some time.
Of course I I think I have what it takes... Don't most of us here?
I have endless ideas, a diverse set of technical skills that can get me most of the way there...
What stops me though is time and money.
I have a family to provide for, who are a much bigger priority than anything else. So my ideas take the back burner, and I prioritize the ones that have a higher percent chance at freeing me from a 9-5, instead of the more interesting moon shots.
However, the failures and wasted money do add up, and it emotionally wears on my wife... I do think of giving up trying to start something, but I dread the idea of working for someone else for the next 30 years. I feel like starting something of my own is part of how I am wired.
So I keep plugging away in my limited free time, getting up too early just to make the time. Maybe some day, but the years are already flying by, my family is most important.
I'm similar boat but I've learnt that I need to put the brakes on a little bit.
Wife and family need me, so that is the most important. More important than my desires.
I tried going "cold turkey" and give up my ambition, but that drove me mad. So I've learnt to integrate. And I also changed jobs which had a tremendous affect on my comfort (much more interesting work for me) - they give me freedom to do anything side-project wise, and they keep the money coming in..
Now I spend a small portion of my time creating and thinking up ideas because that's just what I do, I build little side apps that I want to have, and fill my needs, I do not waste money on chasing a false ideal. and I have room for what I do in the weekly budget.
ATM I'm building a little photo video montage app so I can easily add photos videos of my kids growing up and watch a montage of it when they're older.
I explicitly don't have "what it takes" to run some VC startup. But I have what I want to have now, and if I ever get too busy with my side projects I will offload them, because they are less important.
