Good old capitalism cannot stop mixing reality and sale-speak, only if you start taking the "magic sauce" pitch for technical facts, it's no wonder you end up scaring yourself. On that same note, I kind of understand that AI researchers have this need to sell their craft as magic sauce. That's how selling things works, after all. Here we go in another cycle of debunking the same magic sauce as common snake oil.
- ForHackernews 8y agoReal AI researchers shouldn't need to be "selling" their craft. You're confusing "data scientists" at places like Facebook and Google with genuine scientists.

- ForHackernews 8y agoThere's a certain amount of puffery that goes into a grant proposal, but it's nothing like marketing-speak. For one thing, "magic secret sauce" will never get you funded.
