Stanford Offers 13 classes, including AI, for free
I don't understand this move. To study at a renowned US university, you need to cough up a forture. To learn <i>exactly</i> the same but not get a piece of paper that says you did it, you can just take the classes online.<p>Don't get me wrong, I'm all for free stuff, but I'd feel pretty cheated if I'd be attending Stanford on half my relatives' latest savings and they use my contribution to give it all to freeloaders.<p>Note, I'm not against it per se, I just don't get it. Isn't this very unfair to the people paying the bill? Can someone explain the reasoning behind it so I can stop complaining about this? :-)
