I wonder if anyone who is connected with actual academic philosophy can comment on this. I'm pretty skeptical.
This is a field where it is notoriously hard to get a real academic position, I would bet there is no shortage of people for these roles.
- esafak 3mo agoIt's a ridiculous complaint. They should be overjoyed that companies are hiring academics. It is trivial to fill academic seats with qualified candidates.
- scythe 3mo ago>hard to get a real academic position Tech companies like to rob the cradle, and academic departments hire far more grad students and postdocs than professors. Of course, this is also part of the problem with academic careers.
- epolanski 3mo agoAcademia is a pyramid like every organization. Of course you will have less spots as you go up the ladder.

- ofrzeta 3mo agoMaybe it narrows down if you need to bring the right mindset.
