Will spend 3 weeks working from GDM London in June. Looking forward to the OG and growing vibrant AI community of Europe. Doing PhD in Cambridge was great because of proximity to DeepMind / MSR, and being in Europe made me less FOMO and allowed me to focus on fundamentals.

@shaneguML the fomo reduction angle is underrated. being close to the action but not in the noise sounds like a cheat code for actual work

@shaneguML Focusing on fundamentals while everyone else gambles is a classic move.
