Terrible idea that shows no understanding of how theoretical research drives many of the most fundamental developments in AI.
Incompetence at its finest.

This is not rationale. Just keep track of the carrer and achievements of people graduating/majoring in FoCo and rethink this "just theory, no applicability" thing. Do the same research for job postings...

It is ok to focus on data science, etc, but FoCo research is definitely not redundant.
