Honestly I would love to go back to college for studying $THING. And then I think about the kids there and decide I'd rather stay away. That and the stupid shit schools do to make sure you aren't using AI.

No thanks, I'd rather watch lectures on YouTube and go to the library. I don't need any diploma, I only want enrichment.

What makes you think they care? https://youtu.be/JcQPAZP7-sE?t=881

I've been following a conman fantisist for a number of years and of late he's gone full LLM powered and has been churning out graduate degrees from respectable sounding places. Years ago he merely claimed to have varrious degrees, but now with the help of chatgpt he's just pumping them out.

While I'm sure a few places care many very clearly don't.

I often think it would cool to maybe work for 5 years and then spend 1 year at college deepening or broadening knowledge. I would love that rhythm.

Not every college.

Especially if all of the 18 year olds disappeared or were diluted by olds.
