AnthonyThis one is particularly shameful to me because my PhD is from Brandeis:

Note the two "credentials" are AI for STEM and prompt engineering.
Nobody has any business calling these things "credentials", or suggesting they are credentials by naming them "microcredentials". You can't go to your boss waving your prompt engineering microcredential and get a raise, or even a microraise for that matter. You can't access more competitive jobs after obtaining one of these microcredentials.
If they were serious about credentialing people, these would definitely not be the first two made available. They couldn't be more transparently venal. This isn't about credentialing, it's an attempt to profit from the AI bubble.

Chris Mills@kenshirriff Neat! I feel like I may have a seen a counter like this in my father's laboratory at #BrandeisUniversity back in 1973-74, but loaded with black punch paper and being used to count decay events as part of his #physics experiments.
