Dynamics will have consequences. I mean over all, AI seems to be doing well, right? Are we going down paths that are also valuable for Google and the other companies? Certainly. Is it still a nice field for people to work on? Probably.

@rorcde Can individual researchers with limited funds keep up with the state-of-the-art? I don't think so. Will we miss out on good ideas because of that? Maybe. And so on.

@rorcde I think there is always some nepotism and dominant schools of thoughts and labs that have an easier life, but as I initially said, the field has changed a lot in the past decade.
