The problem is that ideas are the currency of academia, so you have to plant your flags and defend them like someone might defend a trademark. Luckily in the startup world, ideas are worthless and no one cares if you thought of it first but

I feel like this PND thing might just be an agency for the folks on https://www.reddit.com/r/overemployed to outsource the acquisition of their 2nd, 3rd, 4th jobs.

Another unintuitive distinction: If you compare yourself to others you can only ever follow in someone's footsteps while becoming second best... But if you compare to past yourself, you can potentially get head and shoulders above the

I feel like the more things I learn, the faster I get at learning new things, and so the number of things I am able to get good at increases at a superlinear rate. So, I don't think it's really an either get good at A or get good

Basically already happening in many Chinese departments and conferences, just without the AI yet, but of equivalent quality. (I'm ethnic Chinese and this is not meant to be a racially charged comment)
