Don't know about your first point on ML, but I think the second point is the more salient one. If Goodfellow was that productive and that much of a value add they would have found a way to keep him.
- buzzert 4y agoI don’t mean to disparage ML generally. I think it has a lot of promise in academia, but its utility in the consumer electronics industry (especially one that’s pivoting towards entertainment services) seems pretty limited.
- blululu 4y agoML has reached a level of maturity and ubiquity that it is having an effect on almost every area of computing. I have personally seen applications for ML that have moved the needle of consumer electronics applications. A lot of this is old hat stuff at this point but there is also a ton of value. Things like finding the white balance in photos, the next letter on a keyboard or how quickly to charge a phone are all areas that benefit from simple ml. I would for one would really appreciate it if Apple photos had a decent search function. Maybe these don’t move the needle as much as Wall Street analysts hope but these marginal improvements add up in a highly competitive space and I can’t see a world where mobile manufacturers turn their backs on ML.
