Still working my way through the talk and post mentioned, so pardon the tardiness, but does that mean you expect the highest quality talent will naturally find it’s way to the field?
I suppose I see a tension between “outreach only to the best” and generally walking away from outreach. E.g. do the fellowships seem like a reasonable bet to you now that they’re super competitive and raising their bar, or are they still too general in scope and we should instead be doing something like running an exclusive side event at NeurIPS?
Put more succinctly: should we be raising the bar for the quality of talent reached, or working to pivot outreach to those who already show strong signs of success in relevant fields?
Helpful updates though, thanks for taking the time to share them.
