Maybe don't use any LLM to do your writing for your Master's thesis?

Increasingly, a masters degree is now a piece of paper attesting that you managed to cheat your way through uni using AI. "Congrats, you spent X years at Y location. You unlocked the right to play [role] - we recommend you keep using AI to do your new job."

I just don’t hire or entertain people who have credentials maxed

Work experience and actual outliers are better signals. Anyone can read a book and get a 100.

wrong. You can actually get great stuff done. instead of just having a lame master thesis, you can actually build meaningful stuff and write about it. You can basically have a PhD done for your master and then get a tripple PhD if you're actually pursuing a PhD...

So why should you use it for coding then?

[qcoret]

You shouldn't. Using LLMs for coding is also considered fraud by many academic boards if that code is a core contribution of the thesis.

where do you guys live. its 2026 and this is the new world order. i'm a researcher at one of the best labs in the world and we use claude code 24/7 for our bioinformatics needs.

Will you be mailing your master's degree to Anthropic or claiming it as your own?
