Mmmh so far, it doesn't look much more compelling than good old genetic algorithms...

Welcome to the Fad Career! :D

Previously relegated to Online Software Engineers, now Data Scientists can feel what it is like to have tons of recent undergrads flooding their fields and coming up with all sorts of "new" ideas that are just the first version of something that is established in the field for decades!

Next up, Electrical and Firmware Engineers flooding the IoT Fad Career! Just give it some 5 or 6 years.

Make sure to also look out for

    epigenetic

    neuro-

    noo-

    quantum

    cyber-

   negentropic

etc. in the coming years

Genetic algorithms are too slow.

Genetic algorithms didn't have millions of core available for training. It's a different optimization of the same problem.

That this isn't higher voted up upsets me. Instead, we see a bunch of circle jerking in the top comments. Somewhat disappointed in HN on this.
