I'm pretty shocked that he's seen One Piece. Like...what. Feels like totally wrong generation, and he'd have missed it during it's peak when he was knee-deep in paypal

Maybe some latent factor: being so obsessed about your field that you're willing to move anywhere to do it, means you will also probably be pretty good at it

This is an insane finding. Excited to see what therapeutics come out of being able to do early drug screenings for psychosis using skin cells. Seems like something Recursion could also potentially explore at scale?

I don't think "without profit incentive" is accurate, else there wouldn't be so many artists complaining of fears about being put out of the job

I too would guess it's true that many currently on H1B wouldn't be able to get O1. But I think a very specific subpopulation of them would probably have a high success rate: specific field (for sure AI-related but maybe there are others), with high citation counts and from well-known PhD programs.

This a fantastic goal. You'll definitely be kept busy. Good luck!

Do you think people might start switching to different visa options, dampening the effect? For example, at least in machine learning, I don't think many PhD grads from top schools would have much difficulty getting an O1 visa, which I guess they could then use to do a postdoc in the US?
