re: LSU offers online certification in AI

This is NOT a machine learning certification, it is like slapping a Shelby GT500 badge on a 2011 Nissan Altima with a missing bumper. These continuing ed programs are purely designed for corporate HR departments that have a "use-it-or-lose-it" professional development budget. Some middle manager takes a four-week course, learns how to prompt ChatGPT to write a macro, and suddenly puts AI systems architect on their LinkedIn.

Meanwhile, real ML engineers are methodically debugging CUDA memory leaks and dealing with distributed training pipeline failures. If you already know how to write code, in leveraging Python and SQL you're looking at a $3,000 course on how to click "Confirm'" in Zapier." Geezus
