Not Google search, but many companies are exploiting cheap labor over seas for different industrial use cases because our algos suck. Not just in manufacturing, there are tech comp…

I think this is false. My general opinion of computer scientists and engineers (especially in silicon valley) lack the scientific training that one gets in other disciplines like i…

Well, that’s not entirely true. Alpha go self played 29 million games of Go, which is in feasible for humans. Assuming a game of Go is 5mins, it would take a human 286 years to ach…

I see BERT as non sensical. You need to be scientific and have a mathematical theory on how humans learn language, which is a multi disciplinary task requiring physicists, mathemat…

Slippery slope, with all evidence pointing to the contrary. Apple will never have a monopoly, linux will always be an alternative.

The wiki post mentioned that people are right 45% of the time. How does dl and ml stack up? Also not mentioned, how long does it take for humans to start recognizing new races, vs …

Why doesn’t the model trained on one race generalize to different races? That sounds inferior to human vision.

There is no "ai", it's the same bull crap we had in the 80s. We haven't had true innovation in this space for a very long time, the current hype was caused by GPU, cloud, and abund…

None of these tech companies have the ability to do that. What you are suggesting would mean the death of every social media company.
