Ben Horowitz and Erik Torenberg sit down with Gagan Biyani to introduce the Horowitz and Andreessen Academy and discuss a bigger question: what should education look like when AI is rapidly changing the skills people need to build, work, and create?Ben and Gagan explain why they believe learning should be more focused on doing rather than studying about doing, with students building real projects, developing people skills, and working alongside companies and builders in San Francisco. The goal isn’t to replace college for everyone, but to create a different path for young people who already know they want to build.They also discuss why AI could make this an unusually powerful time to be young, how project-based learning changes when everyone has access to powerful tools, why failure can be valuable when it produces real learning, and what it takes to develop the judgment and people skills that can't simply be learned from a textbook.Resources:Follow Gagan Biyani on X: <a href="https://x.com/gaganbiyani" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://x.com/gaganbiyani</a>Follow Ben Horowitz on X:<a href="https://x.com/bhorowitz" rel="noopener noreferrer"> https://x.com/bhorowitz</a>&nbsp;
