Leading institutions in the UK cultural/creative industries for over 20 years are filled with leaders earning £100,000 with degrees in the humanities (English/History/Languages) but drawn from the social elite. The factor isn't a degree's earning potential. It's race and class.

I was so proud to do this speech today.
Solidarity ✊
This is so powerful.
Students are finishing university with TBC instead of grades and staff are still receiving punitive salary deductions.
The bosses could have ended this dispute well before graduations.
This is all on you, @UCEA1.

"I now believe that there is even less intelligence and reasoning in these LLMs than I thought before.
Many of the proposed use cases now look like borderline fraudulent pseudoscience to me."
