It's always amusing to get updates from our AI/ML department (I'm tangentially involved with them enough to stay in the loop).

It's 3 people - smart, but fairly typical CS Masters level. They've been working on AI/Machine Learning models for 3 years, with a truly unreasonably large budget for hardware/software, and very little to show for it.

If the models they were developing actually worked, there would be no reason for my company to continue their primary business, because we would effectively predict the next 20 years of stock performance in a fairly large segment of the market.

At least the CFD people have gotten some good use out of the giant stack of GPUs they bought.



Imagine if all of those equipment are put to more productive use.. like gaming.
