I think there’s also something to be said to just “doing things” that are in the public eye.
What I mean by that is that (part of) the reason I got the job I’m at right now is because I happened to do something at an org that my boss worked at years prior. It wasn’t a “connection” in the sense that we knew each other or ever crossed paths, but it still got me a foot in the door.
If you can make a meaningful contribution to a well known project or organization that will open doors via “connections” that you never knew existed.


It’s hard for me to imagine which direction it would end up going when right now the quality of AI output is so varied.
