No one uses scipy for anything serious anymore in AI research or on any type of modern models.

You're setting your students up for failure if this is how you are teaching neural networks to them. You should switch to pytorch or at least something like tensorflow or jax or you are actively doing intellectual disservice to them and leading them to be actively noncompetitive both in AI academic paper writing/grad school and in the job market.

Similarly, use of sklearn considered harmful in a world where CuML/CuPY/Nvidia RAPIDS exists.

And also, knowledge of conda/pip/poetry considered harmful in a world where UV exists.

Teach MODERN tools please.

It sounds like a fundamental education failure and/or an extreme failure of tool design and training in workplaces if new employees with relevant degrees don't have the basic knowledge to pick up new tools on the job. A liberal arts education is for teaching basic transferrable skills, and is not a narrowly tailored job training program.
