Laude Institute(@LaudeInstitute):At CAIS, @profjoeyg told @andykonwinski he's noticing a shift with grad students: they're less interested in papers or startups, more interested in policy work and shaping what the world looks like when they inherit it. He sees them thinking about how to adapt technology and ideas to actually influence the world around them. He thinks if academia offers that path, they'll stay. If not, they'll go elsewhere.
