"Two large YC companies (both with machine learning teams) have told us that they consider interest in ML a negative signal."
I wonder why this is?
Since ML/AI are currently "hot" those programmers may be trend followers? Or maybe interest in ML is correlated with being a junior programmer (those that are more senior specialized when ML/AI were not so cool and consequently are in different domains)?
