Today I’d like to tell you a short story from when I was studying for my Master’s degree in data science. I remember this encounter from time to time, and I think it is precious for all of us doing things in the metaverse. Read till the end, and you will understand why.

I used to begin my days with Stroopwafel & coffee.

I studied in the Netherlands at the Technical University of Eindhoven (TU/e), which has a solid history of engineering degrees, especially computer science. The University is well ranked in architecture and design too; the perfect mix for this new wave of generative code art. I spent a year living there, and it was a very refreshing experience.

One day, I was roaming the university garden, next to the library, with one of my friends, when someone approached us.

Are you guys studying here?

He was tall, pale, with white hair, and I guessed he was around 80 years old. We said yes, and he asked about our specializations. I said data science, and my friend was studying for a Ph.D. in artificial intelligence.

Oh, smart guys then.

Are you a professor here? — My friend, asked.
