I'm not super deep into the world to NLP, but from what I have kept up with, it seems that the state-of-the-art is almost constantly open-sourced. I understand certain companies have personal relationships already built which may be wh

While the content of the article is extremely shallow, I'll comment on why software engineers don't see CEO as a career choice. Any time I've tried to dive into the world of business / finance I find that it is just a co
