My Students Used AI on Their Assignments. And I Gave Them an A with Guest Jed Macosko

What if your final paper wasn't a paper at all, but a custom digital brain you built yourself? Physics professor, and mad scientist, Jed Macosko threw out the old rulebook and turned his classroom into an AI laboratory. He didn't just allow his students to use new thinking tools—he challenged them to master them. Hear how freshmen are vibe-coding their own apps, replacing essays with agents, and discovering how to create their own sidekicks. In these chaotic times, Macosko's approach proves the enduring value of a professor is not to provide answers, but to be the coach who inspires young minds to find their own.
