Could anyone explain to me whether this article is serious or sarcasm ?
And if it is sarcastic what exactly is he mocking ?
I guess that most HN readers would be unfamiliar the tools of the trade for big data and machine learning.
- compbio 11y agoNot serious, or maybe ha-ha-only-serious. See: http://philip.greenspun.com/humor/ai.text http://philip.greenspun.com/humor/ai.text The AI field has been a prolific source of hokey new terminology ... AI is about the same age as the rest of computing. ... If DOD spending on AI drops far enough, universities like Stanford, MIT and CMU may even find the integrity to rid themselves of scientifically embarassing, but formerly profitable, AI programs. The quality of CS faculties and budgets at universities across the country will continue to be diluted by the presence of large numbers of AI meatballs. -- Gary Martins (former RAND manager)
