When people try to be more ambitious it often makes their research worse, because it closes them off to interesting research directions that they don’t yet understand how to scale.
I’m more excited about encouraging people to do creative and beautiful research. Here’s an example of creative research, and here’s an example of beautiful research, both from Jascha Sohl-Dickstein. In the long term I expect creative and beautiful research to uncover much more interesting and important phenomena.
