Why not build something on your spare time and try to create your own job then?
- throwaways885 5y agoHow would one person bootstrap a venture in medical ML without initial funding or datasets?
- itsoktocry 5y agoDo you think it's the model and the data that's novel? That's exactly why AI is failing. How about starting with a problem to solve? You don't need anything but a pen and paper. Gotta start somewhere.
- bayesian_horse 5y agoA pen and a paper doesn't make you any money. I have tons of ideas. Doesn't mean jack though. In medical AI, you really need datasets. Of the most expensive kind, and lots of it.
- throwaways885 5y agoGetting trusted access to medical datasets is a huge issue, and so is getting clinicians to use the systems you've produced. Both of these problems are usually fixed with large amounts of funding.
- bayesian_horse 5y agoFounding a startup is not an option available to everyone. It takes money and other resources. And for some of the same reasons that I am unemployed despite valuable skills, it is virtually impossible for me to get any funding.
- ecmascript 5y agoI completely disagree with you, bootstrapping your own internet company doesn't cost a lot. Except effort and time. You can fund it yourself with basically any income. Of course you will never get anywhere with an attitude like the one you currently have. It's not the skill or resources that is the problem, it's the mindset.
- bayesian_horse 5y agoThe chances of succeeding with a bootstrapped internet company are extremely low. You confuse results I observed with my "attitude". I am trying quite a few things. I am only observing negative results. That might look like a negative attitude, it is, however, reality.
