You make it sound like George Hotz is any run-of-the-mill 26 year old, except he's anything but[1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Hotz https://en.wi

  But the point is, for $3M I can fund George Hotz and have an entry in the self driving car arena. For nothing, I can go grab open source code and be a small percentage away from the absolute state of the art. How do companies justify such a tiny edge as being worth so much? I wish Andrew Ng the best. I do. He's a class act. I enjoyed his course years ago, but came away a little disappointed. At the end, I realized there's no intelligence in the algorithms. It's all just applied statistics and a lot of sweat preparing training data. Maybe I should just shut up and vie for some of the easy money sloshing around. I think I would just feel weird asking for a ton of cash when the end product is just a bit of recursive math.
