How AI is sold: "It will chop your carrots perfectly!" How I experience it: It sort of chopped my carrots but now I have to figure out how to explain it just right to get it to chop my carrots correctly. Just give me a knife and some classes, please.

Looks like Apple's Machine Learning Research team is having fun. Pixar would be proud. machinelearning.apple.com/research/ele...

Jack Welch flavored MBAs are a scourge on America. Shareholders should not be the highest priority stakeholder. These people don't deserve power.

Don't threaten to burn down a building and then expect people to celebrate you as a firefighter when you back down.

The other side of Hanlon's razor: malice and incompetence inflict similar damage.

I'm excited to play a bit @rsms.me
