The AI Tutor Built for Elon's Kids is Now Available to Everyone | ROP #53

from Rational Optimist Podcast

When Elon Musk couldn't find a school good enough for his kids, he started his own at SpaceX. The secret to its success was Synthesis, a program that taught problem-solving instead of test-taking. Now, Synthesis co-founder Chrisman joins us to reveal how he's turned those principles into an AI tutor available to everyone. We dive deep into how this technology, born from a secret DARPA project that created "superhuman" students, is making kids beg to learn math.
