If Tamer is reading this, I know of opportunities in NYC for sharp ML people. Feel free to drop me a line at [e-mail] and I’ll be more than happy to make an introduction or two.

NYC clearly doesn’t have the level of activity in this area that the Bay does, but there’s a scene. LeCun and the NYU crowd and the big FAIR footprint create a certain gravity. There’s stuff going on :)

I'd hire him if the conversation for the last question I asked went something like this.

Me: On your first day of work, what would you say to me if I asked you to do the samething in your writeup but in production and at scale using the same third party services (chatgpt etc) you used in your writeup.

T: "You're an idiot. I quit."

Me: You're hired!

Clearly it's a fun exploratory excercise, kind of like using kafta instead of a db for the main store for a crud app just to see how it works. But if you asked a senior engineer who follows the sector he would probably guess all the answers correctly blind. Tamer himself says it was his most expensive sunday hobby night. Now scale that uselessness to enterprise level. And you're not even sure if some of the results are hallucinated.

I sympathize and you’re maybe being facetious. But a good engineer doesn’t just say “you’re an idiot”, they are able to clearly document and communicate the expenses to the business folks, and they are able to brainstorm ways to change the cost dynamics with trade off options for business.
