Wow. I'm surprised CNBC writes articles about the career movements of "AI and Deep Learning Experts." How many of their readers care about the director-level hires of large tech companies?

someone once told me you can coast forever after a big hit in the tech world. doesn't seem to be the case these days unless you jump from ship to ship.

Apple can probably poach all the AI people that don't want to work for a weapons contractor. Doubt Apple's going to be moving beyond consumer products anytime soon.

there's probably a correlation somewhere there. Usually if you do a big hit in the tech world, you have hard work in your DNA.

That's great! Now that Tim Apple is finished building product, they can earn revenue by crunching my personal data! Don't believe me? Order your own copy from Apple, you'll be surprised what they keep forever.
