    C’mon, I think you have better reading comprehension than that. He’s a professional data scientist specializing in machine learning. He went to grad school, then to big industry, then to startups, and is currently running a consultancy. He is very clearly not “on the side of the road.” He’s merely telling executives to fuck off with their AI grift.

      Yuuup. This blog post is the exact sentiment I see from people with postgraduate degrees in the field of machine learning. The current, public facing, machine learning AI implementations are various forms of theft, grift, and exploitation. They exist as the new testaments to violence of the neocolonial era

      Exactly this. I only have pretty vague experience with machine learning, since it was one of the other specializations for my Masters than the one I choose, which however means we still shared some basic courses on the topic, and I definitely share his point of view. I’ve been saying basically the same things when talking about AI, albeit not as expressively, but even with basic insight into ML, the whole craze that is happening around it is such bullshit. But, I’m by no means an expert in the field, so I may be wrong, but it’s nice to read an article that shares my intuition and sentiments.
