This is ridiculous. The genie is not going to go back into the bottle. This is the equivalent of "you wouldn't download a car". (Yes, we would.)

The solution is to scale the difficulty of the objective measures. Expect far more from students.

Reorient the university around physical laboratories and timesharing resources no single student could afford. It's already like this in many STEM disciplines.

More internships, more networking, more large projects. Less trivial tests of knowledge and credentialism.

So now students are _required_ to use agents? That's a bit crazy

Would universities be paying the token cost? Is that you Dario?

A Claude subscription is like 1/5th the cost of one textbook.

I mean you kinda have to own a computer to be in this industry at all. Back in the 90s there was a clear distinction between someone who had a computer and someone who didn't in so far as what they could do. Maybe a subscription might be a requirement soon. Overall it's much less money than what my parents had to spend on my computer in the 90s. In inflation adjusted dollars they spent over 5k on just my tech before I was even 13 years old.
