@jean__hardy It’s insane the number of emails I get from high school students! And they have already built a bunch of ML apps and done internships at fancy places…partly because their parents work at those companies.
@jean__hardy @HariSubramonyam I just got my first email today from someone enrolled in an AP research class (?!) 🙈
@SukritVt @HariSubramonyam “I appreciate your enthusiasm to participate in my research lab. I would encourage you to go learn to skateboard and tell your parents to shut the fuck up. Be gay, do crime.”
