This sentiment captures the zeitgeist of our times. Some researchers and engineers have described it as an identity crisis, a form of professional existentialism that transcends considerations of money or bonuses. It's really about doing meaningful work - work that matters. The pace of acceleration and intense competitive pressure make the culture of large corps feel like a force pushing against the direction you want to go. You start asking yourself, "Why does this thing I'm doing matter in the long run?" Building the next frontier of models and applications requires a different cultural modus operandi. We are in the age of leapfrogs, not incrementalism, which makes big corporations a challenging place to be. We are at a moment in history when you can dare not merely to improve an existing field, but to build an entirely new one. So be bold. Find a small team obsessed with acceleration, where you can experiment freely and have real impact.
