She studies physics and mathematics at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and is doing her PhD in astronomy, cosmology and data science at Cambridge.In this episode of Signal she talks about something that is already happening inside the best universities in the world: PhD students who haven't written a single line of code on their own in six months. Not because they can't. Because they don't need to anymore.We also talk about what the next generation understands better about AI than senior professionals, why universities are redesigning their exams because of LLMs, and whether juniors entering the job market today are at a disadvantage or actually ahead.Plus the week's news: GPT 5.5 drops and challenges Claude on benchmarks, Tim Cook's era at Apple comes to an end, OpenAI and Microsoft quietly break up, Cursor hits $6B ARR, and Google doubles down on TPUs as the infrastructure race heats up.No scripts.
