AI Researcher Shares Doubts After Decade in Field
Tanishq Mathew Abraham posted doubts about his progress after ten years in AI.
Tanishq Mathew Abraham posted that he has been in AI for about a decade and feels he should have accomplished more. TeortaxesTex replied that the field is very competitive and growing quickly, so staying in place counts as an accomplishment. The same user added that early AI figures operated in a smaller pond and that top programs now graduate many strong researchers each year, making it harder to stand out.

AK Aran Komatsuzaki@arankomatsuzaki@teortaxesTex @iScienceLuvr True. I feel like I should've too. Prob the biggest bottleneck was that Tanishq and I moved from research to startup later than we could've done.

T( Teortaxes▶️ (DeepSeek 推特🐋铁粉 2023 – ∞)@teortaxesTexI often think about the fact that our Luminaries and Gods of “early” AI were big fish in a small pond. The average Elo of the field, so to speak, is growing quickly. PKU or Stanford should be graduating dozens of Radfords and Sutskevers every year now. Keeping up is merit enough.
