Globalization is unstoppable. Thanks to technology, learning is accessible to everyone—not just those at elite institutions.

Success favors the best adapted.

A big tech company spends more than Harvard's entire endowment on building LLMs (not mainly on salaries).


Isn't that a good thing? the rich still can milk from human intelligence.... nothing to do with Harvard or not. Anywhere they can find intelligent people they will invest their $$$

UMD did well overall. Interesting that Harvard did the best for NA and beat MIT.


Harvard's CS department is better than the rankings show. The issue is it's very theoretically oriented. Which is less desirable for graduate education right now (people want to dive into applications, esp. AI related) but very good if you're an undergrad trying to grasp the essentials of the subject for the first time.


In AI development, large language models (LLMs) are still largely theoretical, which is why many of the recent hires have PhDs. This isn’t something you can fake—you’re either genuinely skilled at it or you’re just good at talking.
