I would be far more inclined to heed this advice if Cuban have any indication of understanding ML as anything more than a magic black box; fairy dust to be sprinkled into every pitch deck to solve any objection or solve difficult problems. The bandwagon is passing through folks, jump on board with Mark or you will have fewer buzzwords with which to craft your deck...
- fixermark 10y agoWas he talking to engineers or owners / executives though? """ The Upfront Summit is LA's premier technology event, with more than 750 of the country's top investors, startups, and corporate executives """ If he was talking to executives, it may be sound advice. It's extremely likely the hot business opportunities in the short-term will be applying ML techniques to outstrip competitors trying to solve problems with traditional hand-coded solutions. In business-speak, "Learn ML" translates to "Familiarize yourself with the space and hire the people you need who know the topic," because that's how a company "learns" something.
