IBM has almost zero credibility in deep learning and AI. They haven't hired anyone of note. They haven't produced any novel or influential research in the field in years. And yet they air these cheesy Dylan ads and the rubes fall for it. Watson is a Theranos-scale fraud, and it's finally coming out.

- sgt101 9y ago30 people (ish) for 3 years + 10 million on hardware? The brilliance of the team... priceless. The cost of everything, the value of nothing : this is what will be written on the tombstone of capitalism.
