Just once I would love for one of these Silicon Valley fart hot boxing mfers who says AI is going to kill us all to explain the mechanism by which it will do so. And please don’t say nukes – you guys do not begin to understand how analog that shit is.

Oh. That's a heck of a subsidy.
At MIT, Harvard, or any other school, supervising an undergraduate researcher is a lot of work, costs a lot of money, involves a lot of meetings, and the results are not reliably excellent. Asking Claude is easier, faster, and may produce better results. It’s also cheaper, which is no accident: Harvard allows every Harvard student and faculty member to request a Claude token budget of $2,500 per month, even as research funding is continuously threatened and the University lays off staff.
