Yeah, what could be so hard about buying a 50 billion dollar "big computer" and hiring 10,000 PhDs for an online platform that doesn't exist yet? Ha!

It's real for sure though, this is HN after all. The general idea of free public universities based on an open curriculum is good, but whatever the OP is talking about is not going to get us there.
