    Got lost here. I think I'm officially too dumb for math.

      I'm hoping someone develops an interactive tutor that can teach any subject to any depth.

      The tutor should optimize its pedagogy. It should use online RL to adapt to a learner's ideal learning style, model what the student understands and to what degree, and understand what the gaps and next steps are.

      I'd subscribe in a heartbeat.

        There's a skill for that (haven't tried myself but intend to; other of author's skills I've used have been a game changer).
