The speaker('s company) paid a hefty price for him to be there to present. Black Hat doesn't wanna dissuade any other potential vendors from not giving them their money.
Black Hat publicly disavowed the talk. Tell us more about what Black Hat does and doesn't want to do?

Vet talks in advance, apparently.

People differ about which point Audiophilia descends into nonsense. Obviously the magic stones and $5000 digital cables are ridiculous. I would probably argue for a more expansive definition. If you have to listen really, really hard to hear the enhancement piece of equipment gives then it's a waste of time and money. But hell, I grew up listening to music recorded onto a C90 through a $40 walkman.
Not just "listen very hard", but "listen very hard during a double blind test". I remember a thread on avsforum.com where one individual has claimed he could hear the difference between cheap and expensive cables. Someone on the forum offered to travel to his house, do a double blind test, and post the results. The individual agreed, and the test was performed. The results of 20 tests were something like 12/8, where…
Some other people, however, see it as 8/20 you can hear the inferior product, they think that they are not peasants to get 8/20 feeling of inferior product, so shut up and take my money, cause $900 cable will guarantee 0/20 of hearing bad cable, totally worth it. nuff said

We live in a world where great products win over constant bullshitting on the market, but the right allocation of money can speed things up significantly.
Which companies have you personally invested in?

I have some Bitcoin now, so I’m not invested in the stock market. But right now I think TSLA is cheap at $41B. With all its faults it tries to rely on software, focuses on future tech even though none of that is mature. It’s deep learning chip and sensor suite is currently far underused, which means that sofware has the potential to increase its margins compared to other car companies.

I considered TSLA when it dipped below $200, but I just don't have any confidence in Musk. I heard him saying they will have full level 5 autonomy next year . That's just ridiculous. It would be less ridiculous for him to say he will land a human on Mars next year.
It sucks, but look at the competiton: they don't get data from drivers, don't launch and iterate. For example I'm in Eastern Europe and I don't know any other company that has training data for my country.
Also Andrew Karpathy improved the development framework a lot, I guess you looked at the autonomy day presentation. It was interesting (and shicking) to me that depth wasn't learned before from the cameras, I think it's crucial.
Anyways I understand your sentiment, that's partly why I still prefer owning Bitcoin.
