I'd be surprised if there's a statistically significant number of engineers making a stand because "company fired engineer hired to do machine learning because he demonstrated an impressive ignorance of statistics and applied that knowledge to make a public ass of himself".
Sure the number is nonzero, but I'd look beyond you're own bubble if you think that's a population worth mentioning in a discussion about larger trends.
- zozbot123 8y agoIt would sure be nice if researchers who work on machine learning were less ignorant of statistics! But singling out one employee for this seems rather disingenuous, doesn't it?
- lordCarbonFiber 8y agoAre there many (any?) jobs where you can go and publicly announce that you're not only unqualified but extremely proud to be so and not suffer consequences?
