You should understand enough to remain in charge of one
The University, and the useful parts of knowing what you are working with.
The University is part of Yu too. Learning earns Context Coins because understanding the intelligence you are working with is part of building a good personal AI system. The University teaches you the useful parts: how models work, why they forget, what context changes, why they hallucinate, how instructions affect them, what tools can do and how to tell when an extremely confident machine has absolutely missed the point. You do not have to become an AI expert. You should understand enough to remain in charge of one.
