In a post on X, Will Brown described what he called a "fairly unconventional" route into AI research: a computer science undergrad, a computer science PhD, time in big tech, a stint in quant finance and then work at a "neolab." Much of the visible reaction on X treated that framing as the joke. A quote-post from @voooooogel made that point bluntly by recasting Brown's résumé as a "fairly conventional path into ai research."
Would have been way funnier if you found your true calling as a quant after working in a Neo lab.
