What is in here

The research projects here are original: each is built on data collected for the question it answers.
The Long Bet – where and what to study when AI keeps changing which skills stay scarce: 100 top-ranked universities across 19 countries and 31 STEM programmes, every university–programme pair checked one by one. Computer Science appears at 95 of the 100, standalone AI at 12.
The Job Search Problem – how much of a job search is structural overhead and how much of it one person can automate, written while running one: ~65% of active time goes to repetitive, rule-based work, and the series builds a reverse ATS against that number.
Each project states its method and limitations, cites sources wherever a number is not the author's own, and publishes the underlying data where it can be published.

100 universities, 19 countries, 31 STEM programmes – and why every obvious answer was wrong.
