AI researchers, 1988: Hey neural nets are dumb but they could maybe do a thing
Venture capitalists, 1988: haha lol nope you're stupid and and drunk we're cutting you off
AI researchers, 2018: Hey neural nets are still dumb but they could maybe do an old thing again, only now our computers and databases are a million times bigger and faster
Venture capitalists, 2018: YOU ARE A GENERATION OF PURE NEVER BEFORE IMAGINED GENIUSES BIRTHED DIRECTLY FROM THE GODS TAKE ALL OUR MONEY AND MORE
There is a funny thing about current #AI experts.
You know, to err is not something incidental, something occasional that happens to #people otherwise right.
#Error is the normal condition of #humanity life.
Indeed you can measure the competence of a #programmer by the number of #bugs he foresee.
Now, find me an AI or #ML expert that warns people about the risks of bugs. Or about malicious feature selections. Or about malicious "training" #bigdata set corruption via omissions.
