Kent, you are right and I agree wholeheartedly with you.
Although I am a gold-bricker at heart and I ask AI-eager
individuals to send me $1+ and corps $1K+ via KWAI below
to keep the all-consuming independent-scholar AI Werk going,
adding "a few bricks to the edifice" is the K.P.-Dolanesque idea:

Of course, we also need to rewrite all the old pre-AI4U textbooks
and even the various books on the art of computer programming,
so that students in the peri-Singularity epoch will learn
AI techniques directly when the book examples are AI problems.
AI has been solved; now let's work on the full implementation.

Are you also going to publicly burn all those old textbooks?
