Epic win

Having had to deal with a "founder" who answered my questions about the lack of a baseline with "I don't think you can measure this objectively" and had to watch a potentially promising idea tank on the basis of such ignorance, along with the nasty human cost, I'm going to keep being grumpy about it.

Uncritical hype of tech and tech snake-oil salesmen is actually a serious social problem right now, in case you hadn't noticed. The snake-oil salesman in question here has some particularly dodgy form.

And before you start, Dan, at work I dealt with it very patiently and responsibly, unlike the founders, for the sake of a whole team and at the risk of my job. But this is a cycling forum.

Some aspects of machine learning are moving at a bonkers rate.

@TW All the more reason for skepticism to be the default response.

1. What can independent sources tell me?
   
2. What is this person trying to sell me?
   
3. If this tech is valid, how can it be abused?
   
   

These should be the first questions that come to mind.
