&quot;Two large YC companies (both with machine learning teams) have told us that they consider interest in ML a negative signal.&quot;<p>I wonder why this is?
Since ML&#x2F;AI are currently &quot;hot&quot; those programmers may be trend followers? Or maybe interest in ML is correlated with being a junior programmer (those that are more senior specialized when ML&#x2F;AI were not so cool and consequently are in different domains)?
