A company called Bonsai joins a movement to democratize machine learning

[tree_of_item]

Oh god, it's happening to machine learning too. The call for "rockstars" and "ninjas". Web development was already eaten by this garbage, can we just not this time?

[asimuvPR]

The barrier to entry is still fairly high. ML still lacks a "PHP". But not for a long time. Hardware and software will eventually catch up and offer easy ti use components (something im researching).

> If you are a strong-armed NFL quarterback who reads defenses like genre fiction, a movie star whose name alone can open a film in China, or a stock picker who beats Buffet every time, congratulations: you are almost as valuable as a data scientist or machine learning engineer with a PhD from Stanford, MIT, or Carnegie Mellon.

who reads this garbage?

It's more like Rock, Paper, Scissors, Data Scientist, except:

NFL quarterback crushes puny data scientist

Movie star steals data scientist's girlfriend

Stock picker acqui-hires data scientist's company on the downturn for pennies on the dollar

Switch Democratize with Capitalize and you get the BS free version as a side effect.

[Houshalter]

Extremely trivial pet peeve, but I hate the word "democratize". In what way does this introduce a democratic voting system to AI? Why do they use this word? Because it summons vague positive connotations people have with "democracy"?

[inlineint]

"Democratize" word meanings from the Oxford dictionary:

1) introduce a democratic system or democratic principles to: public institutions need to be democratized.

2) make (something) accessible to everyone: mass production has not democratized fashion.

The second one seems to be exactly what they say about their system.

Too much bullshit
