<i>&quot;What the market wants has been the lesson learned at Narrative Science. Its founding team included professors from Northwestern University’s computer science and journalism departments.&quot;</i><p>I wonder how the guys from the journalism department felt about putting nails in the coffin of their profession? I don&#x27;t mean this as a criticism. I have the luxury of passing on jobs that put people out of work (or actively kill people) but it must be pretty horrible to be faced with the choice; &quot;You can starve or make other people starve, your choice.&quot;<p>I do understand the arguments for working on machines that eliminate the need for workers. I just can&#x27;t be as sanguine about the real world consequences.
