As a trained mathematician with 20+ years shipping software products, I object to this.

A lot of AI work is done by people that "dash-shaped" -- broad, but with no depth anywhere.

Then there's a few I-shaped people that drive research progress, and a few T-shaped people that work on the infrastructure that allows the training runs to go through.

But something like a protocol will certainly be designed by a dash, not an I or a T, because those are needed to keep the matrices multiplying.
