Je suis passé par l’Unilu, UPL, ISC,…chargé de cours. La seule université au Congo où il n’existe pas de corruption est l’université MAPON à Kindu. Vous cherchez qui engager, ayant une compétence au standard international, et surtout une bonne intégrité, voici où aller!

Well. Grok 4.5 is impressive. It built a simulator in one prompt. Prompt : Build a realistic autonomous driving simulator in 3D. Include keyboard and mouse controls and optional autonomous mode. Simple prompt. I believe grok will beat other model in 3D design.

I really second this thought!

Some personal thoughts from me:

Growing up there was always a pressure to acquire status and make sure that everyone knows about it. India, unfortunately, is a country where people are directly or indirectly incentivised to show off. So many people chase clout, titles, status etc.

So rather than focus on self development and ability, people go for titles, reach, clout etc. During the past 15 years of me being in AI/ML I especially felt the temptation to chase titles.

Whenever people got papers multiple accepted I thought to myself: "when will this happen to me?"

Whenever someone got an award: "When will this happen to me?"

You lose sight of yourself and lose a lot of confidence when you focus on these metrics. You focus on the outcome and not the process. Ultimately you end up focusing on everything but the one thing that matters: mental peace and happiness.

After joining Google, I once again got tempted by the lure of titles and promotions. Fortunately, I was quickly reminded of my past and only recently was able to correct myself. That's not to say the temptations don't automatically disappear. It takes effort to tell yourself not to bother with this.

So if there's any lesson it's this: Focus on your work and derive happiness from it and not from titles. Meaningful happiness does not come from metrics and titles.

One advice I got that changed the way I looked at things.

Don't play the status game.

I stopped trying to go after titles, appointments, awards. Whatever. There's some inner peace just focusing on what matters and what i truly enjoy.

I think that's freedom. I think some ego and pride in one's work is important, but that should never be defined by being a lead of xyz or something.

I like the low ego member of technical staff vibe. Recognition should only come from a technical achievement.

[Samira Khan @samiramanabi]

There is a prevailing consensus in academia that industry is full of politics and academia holds up the true torch of meritocracy. It has been sometime that I moved to industry and gave up my tenure. Have to say the most vicious and petty politics I have observed is still in academia.

Don’t get me wrong. Politics is inherently in human nature but the reason it is so pervasive in academia is the missing market signals. If your product fails or you fail to execute in industry, no amount of politics can help you. But if all you need is some approval/letters from others or some awards from a committee to prove that you are successful, the inherent incentive is to maximize your alignment with people with power.
