Management everywhere thinks they are getting good info from those below them when everywhere I have worked, they get a selective job preserving subset.

I’d really like to see the author write an explanation as to why. I completed by PhD in “AI” (as it was then called) in 2001. Very little DNN work then, but I haven’t a clue where the connection lies.
