I'm really curious to see where higher education will go now that we have LLM's. I imagine the bar will just keep getting higher and more will be able to taught in less time.

Are there any students here who started uni just before LLM's took off and are now finishing their degrees? Have you noticed much change in how your classes are taught?

On the other hand, 54% of US adults read and write at a 6th grade level or below. They will get absolutely left in the dust by all this.

They have already been left in the dust, even before LLMs, which explains a lot about our current political situation.

Ironically, those who can work with their hands may be better positioned than "lightly" college educated persons; LLMs can't fix a car, build a house, or clear a clogged pipe.
