Machine Learning Is a Marvelously Executed Scam
- jwilber 6y agoI imagine the conversation yielding this article as output went something like this: “Hmm, we need a way to market our business about (trying to) reduce AWS costs. I know, let’s write a blog post incorrectly caricaturing an entire field, hopefully draw controversy, and then casually mention our service at the bottom!” If customers find solutions cost-prohibitive or ineffective, they won’t continue to use them. Bit confused by the lucky coin comparison - the mention of ml in the selected tool is a direct product of ml’s groundbreaking performance in that application. Hence the decision to include it and not, say, mechanical turk (as described).
