  Which is what makes it so funny that people can't be bothered to read further into the article than "HERESY against glorious deep learning!".

    "HERESY against glorious deep learning!" Which is kinda silly when you think about it... This is science, and - ideally - science should not be "fad" driven. When we get to a place where a certain approach becomes orthodoxy and few people are willing to (consider|fund|think about|acknowledge|whatever) alternative approaches, that's a Bad Thing. I think some people would argue that a similar thing has happened in the past with physics where String Theory (in its various forms) became SO dominant that it was hard to get taken seriously if you were working on something that wasn't ST.

    To be fair, there's not much to read in the article. There's fluff about Marcus as a person and some tiny amount of amazingly vague talk about what he's doing.
