  This sounds SO.MUCH. like the type of hedging academic writing I despise<p><pre><code> Doing a PhD is difficult and isolating, which is exacerbated by being an international student in an unfamiliar country. And so, while I overall very much enjoyed my time there and have freely recommended it to many people, the decision to pursue a PhD in Japan should always be considered carefully. </code></pre> (Watch <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49879250">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49879250</a> why it&#x27;s bad)

  I would worry more about AI automating your PhD than whether you did it in Japan or EU

        No, you don’t get it. The until now completely un-recursive not-self-improving training runs will automate themselves away any day now, and ML PhD’s will become worthless!!
