@omitevski totally. And I think they've made the math based on promises they got. But if it doesn't pay off, the money will be gone, too.
Replying to @xyzdkfe
@omitevski but collectively behaving as if AI is solved is dangerous IMHO.
Replying to @xyzdkfe
@omitevski more conscious and honest about what we promise. As long as you stick to clear areas where ML works I don't see an issue.
Replying to @xyzdkfe
@omitevski no we certainly aren't. But they are doing an investment on stuff we have promised, and all I am saying is that we should be...
Replying to @xyzdkfe
@omitevski that for each and every company which hired data scientists, it is clear beyond doubt that they added massive value.
Replying to @xyzdkfe
@omitevski I know it's very hard to have such a discussion on Twitter. But while there has been breakthrough in some areas, I doubt...
Replying to @xyzdkfe
@omitevski well I have heard otherwise. ;)
Replying to @xyzdkfe
@omitevski yes, but at some point people will ask whether it really has been worth it, did data scientists really create more value?
Replying to @xyzdkfe
@omitevski and don't get me wrong, I'm totally benefiting from this, too. That's why I'm also concerned not to "overheat" this much.

Replying to @xyzdkfe
@omitevski let's ride this wave and see whether we can secure a spot in the sunlight.
Replying to @xyzdkfe
@omitevski so what I think is happening is that suddenly there is all this attention around deep learning and people are like...
Replying to @xyzdkfe
@omitevski the great achievements we obviously have had, instead of all this "AI is nigh" talk.
Replying to @xyzdkfe
@omitevski it is more like "OK, this is it??" and then it might be over real quicl. What I'm missing is a more honest communication about..
Replying to @xyzdkfe
