VC Matt Turck quips that kids should work hard, get top grades, attend a top college and law school, clerk, join a top firm — and 'one day become a data labeler for legal RL.'
The joke reflects a real trend: RLHF-style labeling with expert legal judgment is becoming a premium job, repricing traditional elite career paths in the AI era.
