Spoiler: The students interviewed are a month into their fellowship. Reporting on decisions that fellows from a couple years back actually made would be more enlightening.
- conradev 12y agoAnother spoiler: Only 6 of this year's 20 fellows were mentioned in the article. The fellows are a very diverse group of people.
- krrishd 12y agoI felt the same way about the series Wired did/is doing on the Thiel Fellowship. I wish they'd cover more of the fellows rather than focusing on the few that they do.
- conradev 12y agoI am one of the guys that lives in the house mentioned in the article. One of the problems with press like this is that it tends to focus on the philosophy behind the fellowship instead of the program itself. It's consistently what reporters find most interesting.
- septerr 12y agoExactly. The title of the article feels like a link bait. It's only been two months!
- zachlatta 12y agoIt's also full of shit. I know many of the new fellows and they're saying that they were misquoted in the article and some of them said that they're not planning on going back, despite Techcrunch writing otherwise.
