RE: So you wanted to be a scientist? Let me tell you what's happening in academia today!

Thank you for the kind comment @the-traveller !

There will always be a need for specialists. However, I think we are now in the age of the architect. As AI is taking on more and more simple tasks, the main question will seldom be if something can be built, but rather if something should be built. Therefore it will be the interdisciplinary architect who can see how the different pieces of the puzzle (pieces being different areas of expertise) can come together to produce new innovation.

Anyways I would love this discussion to go on and have you both in my network here. So I have followed you both and resteemed posts that I see overlap with my own topics of interest. Hope to engage more with you both down the line!
