I think we are after different things. My goal is not to understand the underlying technology at the academic level but just enough to make money by utilizing the people that do, just like any good capitalist.
You don't need to be an oil rig worker to understand where the opportunity lies is what I'm saying. It's possible to understand systems from a blackbox point of view and still be able to exploit them. Afterall, this is what we do whenever we hire a new developer, it's impossible to know what they know so I leave that up to smarter and talented people while I allocate the capitals and set a vision for what's required to capitalize on the business opportunity that AI presents with it's superior performance, scalability and economies to scale.
You outsource what you don't know or can't do and if you can't afford it you do end up doing it yourself. This is why capitalism works. It's not necessary for you to dwindle with all the underlying complexities when you model the business opportunity in terms of basic expenditure and investment returns.
- deepnotderp 10y agoIf you want to be a venture capitalist, then you need to bring money to the table....
- YeGoblynQueenne 10y agoI don't know why you expect to get ahead by hiring others to do your thinking for you. If you don't have a basic understanding of the technology you're hiring people to implement, they'll just pull the wool over your eyes, sell you something that doesn't work and make away with your money.
