Considering the rate of change in this field, what would be beneficial to learn for people who don't actually get to use machine learning in their day to day job? I'd love to dive in and learn more about machine learning but I don't want to waste time learning something that will be totally irrelevant in a couple years.

I agree with that. We need some way of differentiating between private sites and sites that be considered part of the public forum.

The time of centralized, closed online platforms is quickly coming to a close.

"Progressive" is marketing term backed by a shaky ideology that has been totally twisted to serve the powerful.

Eric Holder for example was hired for big money by Uber to push the narrative that background checks for Uber drivers is discriminatory against minorities, never mind that lack of background checks exposes women (especially women of color) to a lot of danger from sex offenders.

Another example is in my own city of Seattle, Comcast for years has been successfully advocating against broadband competitors and one of their "arguments" is that building out higher speed internet in high income areas will cause inequity that will affect minorities in poorer neighborhoods. By "progressive" logic this makes perfect sense but it's obvious that it's simply a powerful company blocking out competition.
