Every time you hear a billionaire denigrate colleges & universities, telling youth to opt for "trade schools", think deeply about their real motivations.
Uneducated = Controllable.

If you’re using LLMs to help you with a specific thing when doing your job, they’re not doing the job for you.
Saying “an LLM is a software engineer” is like saying a hammer is an architect.
Just a complete categorical error.
If they actually fully replace you in your job, then you’re probably not doing your job; unless your job was to come up with plausible sequences of words not based on knowledge, skills or experience.

Starting a day with severe depression is a matter of looking at a pile of problems all of which seem insuperable, picking one, breaking it into smaller problems which still seem insuperable, tackling them one by one slowly. In the sure and certain knowledge that the problem probably really was insuperable and sooner or later you will be stopped by a subtask you cannot complete... And that will have to be left as an insuperable problem for the next day. Rinse and repeat.

The Charge and the Curriculum: How the Dark Arts Replaced Black Magic
Two phrases arrive from different centuries and now sit on the same shelf: "black magic" and "the Dark Arts." Modern speakers treat them as synonyms. Older readers would have disagreed, and the disagreement matters, because the collapse of the two terms shows how our language for forbidden knowledge has migrated from the judicial to the aesthetic, from accusation to ambience.
