    it’s a fad in terms of the hype and the superstition.

    it won’t go away. it will just become boring and mostly a business to business concern that is invisible to the end consumer. just like every other big fad of the past 20 years. ‘big data’, ‘crypto’, etc.

    5 years ago everyone was suddenly a ‘data scientist’. where are they now? yeah… exactly.

      Quants. They make more money than most doctors. I know one who is 39 and is retiring.
