@Meaningness I wondered if you have any recommendations for young generalists. 50,000 feet: grad school? Why or why not? Brushing the treetops: any institutions or topics or analogies promising for foundational research in AI? (MIT CSAIL? Causality? Kahneman's System 1 vs 2?)
Well if you want to do AI, then go for it! Presumably you know which schools have strong programs in the area

I think so! I'm just a little bit concerned about the culture of evaluating ideas by their performance metrics on challenge datasets--it seems like a recipe for hacks and premature optimization. I'm trying to find groups working from a more first-principles perspective.

Good (imo). I think the current round of ML enthusiasm will have run out before you’d finish grad school, so better not to hitch your wagon to it.
