Could you explain what these phrases mean in the context of your comment - "computer scientist" stage, and "Crappy AI College" phase?

- deanCommie 9y agoMost areas of software engineering start in deeply theoretical stages where they're only studied in Computer Science universities. Then they gradually leak out where you no longer need a PhD to understand it but a 4 year Bachelors is still preferred. Then they enter the mainstream and any tech school will do (and maybe even just some online tutorials). Finally some shitty colleges will offer 2 year programs dedicated to teaching you "all the skills required to get a job in the industry" from scratch in 2 years. "Video game development" is squarely in the last category. Facial Recognition, NLP, ML are still in the second (out of the hands of academics but not quite plug-and-play yet - though getting there with TensorFlow and MXNet and some of the newer AWS services)
