    I did two post docs and they were great. I learned many valuable things, foremost among them that it was time to get the fuck out of academia.

    Seriously I regret nothing, I had a great time.

      Every time I talk to my friends in academia, I’m grateful that I was just smart enough to know that I’m too stupid for academia.

      The best was when you heard how the Professors got their job back in the 70s-80s.

      They generally just finished a PhD and were given a position!

    Real talk: it’s been widely understood that AI–in its current state–is an unreliable source of factual information. Why the hell is Google pushing it at the top of search results?

    You are alpha testing it for them. The more problems you find for them the better as they see it. They don’t care if someone glues their pizza.
