Academia needs to get over itself, can't wait to see how amazing this tech is going to get when the next generation who decide never to bother with those stuffy and navel gazing institutions becomes the driving force behind it. Looking forward to "I made this cool thing, here's the code/library you can use" rather than the papers/gatekeeping/ego stroking/"muh PhD". Think if Google had built an AI team around the former rather than the latter, they wouldn't have risked the future of their entire company and squandered their decade head start.
