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.

"Taken together, these flaws make LLMs look less like an information technology and more like a modern mechanisation of the psychic hotline."

[Peter Campbell @Peter_Soc]

"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."
