Freeman Dyson: "I’m very proud of not having a Ph.D. I think the Ph.D. system is an abomination. [...] takes far too long and discourages women from becoming scientists, which I consider a great tragedy. So I have opposed it all my life"; from: quantamagazine.org/a-math-puzzle-…

My team and I are moving from Google Research to Google DeepMind. We'll keep working on SOTA LLM and multimodal models. Very excited for what's to come!

Excellent idea from Neurips, thinking out of the box! ML skills are increasingly relevant for college and jobs, so this is a good incentive. Of course, there should be no unnecessary pressure on high schoolers - they should decide on their own if they want to submit papers.
