"Damn Chatbots" with Demetrios Brinkmann

About this episode

Nikhil Suresh chats with Demetrios Brinkmann about machine learning, job searches, and authenticity in careers.

Today I'm chatting with Demetrios Brinkmann, certified Cool Dude (TM) with lots of experience in the machine learning space. I recorded this a million years ago and must thank Demetrios for his patience. Topics we touch on are: machine learning hype in businesses, job searches, and the pros/cons of authenticity in a career. Also, in a desperate attempt to feel like this is a responsible thing to produce while running a business, you can get advice on all sorts of software problems from my team at hermit-tech.com or email me personally at nik.suresh@hermit-tech.com Many thanks are also extended to Lisa Lorenzin for taking my garbage audio and turning it into something passable.
