If a company is okay with employees "cross training" is that a problem? They're not forced to train employees, but the good ones will.

I stopped reading when he said IBM Watson was somehow key in this "globotics" revolution. Even IBM seems to have stopped advertising Watson.

Can anyone working in this field comment on how it's applied? For example, what is computed? Homology groups, just the ranks of these groups, or something else? Given these, what d…
