Producing a Twitter clone and dealing with toxic materials are two entirely different skill sets.
- maxxxxx 9y agoIt's not like people get out of college uniquely qualified for writing a Twitter clone. The same people that use machine learning for ads could also use it for sorting trash. And manipulating it would be a hard problem for robotics.
- PakG1 9y agoAs Larry Ellison and other godfathers of the start of the IT industry once said (paraphrasing), "It's impossible to find someone who has the necessary skills and 10 years in the industry. Just hire the smartest people we can find and let them figure it out." Worked before, why wouldn't it work again?
- gozur88 9y agoLarry Ellison had two big advantages, though - a well-circumscribed problem domain and an obvious business model. Recycling has neither. It's a much more difficult problem.
