Investor: in the LLM era 'did it work' replaces diplomas and test scores

Investor Stewart Alsop argues that the traditional education path — pleasing teachers and earning a credential — is obsolete. His core claim: in the LLM era, "does it work?" is the only thing that matters; if you can't use an LLM to teach yourself enough to judge whether you solved the problem, you won't be part of the problem-solving class. No test scores or kind words from the old world apply anymore.
