High Salaries Are Weapons in the AI Talent War
I am amazed that rather than see this as opportunity for racking up top $$$ for <i>at least</i> the next 3-10 years by learning Calculus, Probability&#x2F;Statistics, and Linear Algebra on the way to whatever degree one seeks, there is so much criticism of this.<p>This situation is a pure win for smart people who put their minds to the task at hand.  Buzzwordy or not, AI&#x2F;ML&#x2F;Newfangled Regression has more than enough wins with speech recognition, game-playing, image recognition, and recommendations to have a strong future.<p>Or, if you insist on negativity and you prefer to expend your time kvetching about whether Famous CS Person X or Famous CS Person Y should make the most money (Fantasy Data Science?), then more for me getting $h!+ done whilst you bicker.  I mean I scratch my head that Mark Wahlberg is the highest paid actor in Hollywood, but hey, good for him in my book.  Too bad his burger shop is crap.
