I was having this conversation with someone last week who was like, why are they called researchers at these organizations?

Why are they not called engineers?

It's because they are researchers.

This is pure scientific research.

You make a hypothesis and you test it.

Loads of the stuff people don't know about, they're exploring.

They're like...

AI agents have been the hot topic of 2025.

We only really started to work out how the hell to use them in January.

Like this is new and it's really like experimental.

So people are like discovering like this is why this is why the whole deep seek R1 thing came out.

They were very excited because they discovered a new way to use reward modeling data much more efficiently.

And that had a massive potential impact in the way you can train.

I mean, it does.

Distillation means that like it's a lot easier to pull stuff that already exists and make it easier rather than to do new stuff.

But like it's all it's new.

It's discovery.

I think it's why it's so exciting.

It's like there hasn't been a scientific field that has felt so relevant and current for a long time.

Corey, Corey, it's so tiring.
