Finally. This is LONG overdue. Save us from the trams.
We heard you want to know what’s really under DEN? 🦎 Find out for yourself - we’re building pedestrian walkways through our underground tunnels connecting Concourses A to B and B to C, with construction expected to begin in 2027. Learn more: bit.ly/3PEviQ0

Great thread on the future of education w/ AI, but especially love this piece. This is how I lead my strategy capstone - “I don’t care what you think, but I care deeply about how you think and your ability to make sense of complex systems.”
Replying to @BenCharoenwong
5/ Layer 2: How you think. So far, I think this is harder to replace. I don't mean "critical thinking" as a buzzword. I mean the specific ability to take a messy problem, decompose it into tractable pieces, and reason about each piece without bullshitting yourself.

One of the many ways AI can help enable personalized education and improved results.
🚨🚨 Excited to share our first *positive* results on AI in education! Most AI tutor work focuses on making the chatbot better. We suggest another lever: deciding what students should practice next to improve learning. We combine an LLM tutor with reinforcement learning to personalize problem sequencing using signals from student-chatbot interactions and solution attempts. We tested this in a 5-month randomized field experiment in a Python course across 10 high schools in Taipei. All students had the same course material and the same AI tutor. The only difference was adaptive vs. fixed problem sequencing. Result: across 770 students, adaptive sequencing improved performance on an in-person final exam taken without AI assistance by 0.15 SD, with larger effects for beginners. Our evidence suggests the gains came from stronger engagement and more productive AI use.

Yes. I would make very different life & financial choices today than I did just 18 months ago based on the rate of change in capability.
The closer people are to the cutting edge of AI the more they’re having an existential crisis and losing their minds about what the future will hold. That’s not a coincidence.

And you bet this rams team is fun to watch.
There’s only three “non power conference” squads ranked top-20 in KenPom’s offensive efficiency. Colorado State (14) Akron (17) Yale (19) Colorado State is the best three point shooting team in America (45%), Yale is second (44%) and Akron is fourth (42%) Need these teams in the dance.

This shift is far overdue. The hyper focus on the attention economy deployed the best & brightest in areas of insignificance rather than solving hard problems like climate/energy/ag
Two conversations this weekend make me think that there's a vibe shift afoot in Silicon Valley around what one should work on and what is worthwhile. Culturally, it feels like the moment is ripe for new frameworks: • Davos expert morality is stale and discredited. • It's also apparent that the "just be super based" Counter-Enlightenment is not really an answer. (Yes, woke went too far, but simply inverting it doesn't work.) • EA is no longer the automatic default for smart people. • There's increasing skepticism of slot and slop machine dynamics. Overall, "what is worthy and valuable?" feels like it's becoming more central.

Getting the “this is their Super Bowl” line makes the first (of many) @farokhmanesh5 W’s over CU that much sweeter. These Rams are fun to watch - get to Moby!

Was awesome to watch. He was unconscious. Go Rams!
Colorado State’s Josh Pascarelli is quietly becoming one of the most impressive shotmakers in college basketball. The 6-foot-3 Marist transfer drilled eight threes today in the win over Colorado, his second straight game with eight made triples. He finished with 28 points on 8-for-10 from deep in a massive rivalry win for the Rams.

Pat- from a former a Pitt guy to a current Ram I’d love to personally invite you to come check out Fort Collins and all the amazing things we’re doing here at @ColoradoStateU. Open invite, we’d love to host you and the crew anytime.
Did you hear about Jim Mora going to Colorado State.. "I have not heard that but I don't know why he would do such a thing 😂😂 I think Jim Mora is a very good football coach and that's great for Colorado State" ~ Coach Saban #PMSLive

Happy to have helped bring this concept to life! Come check out our full weekend events schedule including a rail jam, vendor village, and executive panel with leading outdoor economy companies like @alterramtnco source.colostate.edu/snow-da…
Colorado State will wear these sweet "Snow Days" helmets Nov. 8 vs. UNLV. Snow Days is CSU's 3-day celebration of Colorado's winter sports & outdoor lifestyle 🏔️☃️

It’s a whole new atmosphere at CSU.
An interesting tidbit: Colorado State football had a program record 15,740 announced student attendance last week against UNC. That total (students only, not full crowd) was more than the announced TOTAL attendance of eight FBS games last weekend.

There’s an incredible @CSURams team behind the scenes working tirelessly to make this a reality. Huge shout out to everyone involved, especially the students!
So, it's a program record student section here at Canvas Stadium (and by a long ways) coloradoan.com/story/sports/…

We’ve been doing this for years in Canvas Stadium here at Colorado State. It’s just a coincidence that Colorado happens to be rectangular with similar scaled dimensions to a football field.
A field for the state of New Mexico. ⛰️ #GoLobos | 🐺⬆️ | @nusendacu

Love this move - we’ve got a great next HC! The future is FoCo
Colorado State is hiring associate head coach Ali Farokhmanesh to replace Niko Medved, source tells @SInow. CSU did a short search, but this was a no-brainer. Farokhmanesh has been essential to the Rams' success under Medved and is one of the best young assistants in the sport.
