How stupid do these CEOs think people are?

They’re not wrong though. The frequency with which these things still just make shit up is astonishingly bad. Very dismissive of a legitimate criticism.

Unwillingness to adapt to the destruction of the middle class and knowledge work is pretty reasonable tbh.

What mathematical guarantees? I don't see any mathematical results in the paper.

They are NOT as unaware of things as we are. That’s like someone seeing a software developer googling stuff and saying “see, they don’t know much more than me”.

An expert refreshing their knowledge on Google is not the same as a layman learning it for the first time. At all.

> in no universe is that a legitimate ML interview question

Why not? This seems like the ML equivalent of FizzBuzz. If you don't know how matrix multiplication works well enough to implement it, I would argue that you don't know what you're doing at all.

But they likely did have their wives do a lot of the domestic heavy lifting.

Damn, really?

I think the time estimates depend heavily on the field. A mathematician recently told him that it would take him 1-2 weeks (with nothing else to do in that time) to digest a paper outside his main area.

Did you read the abstract?

What are you talking about? Did we read the same abstract?

Even with an accuracy score, it’s meaningless. Accuracy isn’t the right metric.

This was also a problem a decade ago. I asked a professor for research opportunities and ended up segmenting a bunch of images. That was it. No credit for that work, either (or pay).
