"Making a contribution to philosophy feels like scrawling your name in stone following in 3000 years of tradition. Making a contribution to ML feels much more rapid by comparison, like there's a t-shirt cannon with discoveries coming out every 30 seconds." - Paraphrased from an Anthropic Researcher

"Even second-rate physicists could make first-rate discoveries." - Paul Dirac, Nobel Prize Winner, on the era of Quantum Mechanics
