AI for Science Fellowship (£115k salary, £100k compute, zero equity)

Hi HN,

I'm sharing this because we know there are a lot of talented AI/ML engineers here who are frustrated by the academic "publish or perish" cycle and would much rather focus on building.

To support that, Pillar VC and ARIA (the UK's advanced research agency) have launched the Encode Fellowship. It's built specifically for engineers applying AI to hard science.

The setup is straightforward:

12 months of freedom to build

£115k salary + £100k compute budget

Access to UK labs

0% equity taken

I wanted to flag it for this community because the deadline is coming up very soon (March 28th). I'll be hanging around the comments to answer any questions you might have about the application process, the labs, or the expectations!

Ask HN: Are LLMs thinking, and does it matter for AGI?
