Reply to comment by walterlawless in [D] Career advice: Can one make a career in building machine learning models and then selling the IP for them? by likeamanyfacedgod

Them: can't say

You: why not?

Them: because you might steal my idea

You: but, you are going to try selling your algorithm

Them: yes

You: won't you need to explain what it does?

Them: yes

You: so your afraid of random internet strangers stealing your idea, but you are happy to explain what it does to the people who are actually in the market for it? Presumably people with access to the resources to replicate your model?

Are you on drugs?

Yes. I'm taking SS Bron which is an over the counter codiene based medication for my cold. Codiene is an opiate and is harvested from the sap of the opium poppy (much like heroin). I'm in Japan and constitutes as over the counter medicine is a bit loosey goosey here.

That said, my point remains valid.

How can your point remain valid when I've been openly telling people what my model predicts? I just like to lead my life outside of the internet between posts and thus can take a while to reply to people ;)

That's not how this is supposed to work. You make a post and then spend the next 48hrs frantically refreshing your phone.

Do you even have self esteem issues?

I'm a professor. My research is machine learning (linguistics) related, but I teach English.

It's easier to get an English teaching position in Japan than a Linguistics teaching position in Australia.
