That's the exact market I'm cashing in on. But rather than just be someone in the space who talks about it, I made it[1].

I think at the end of the day, the stuff talked about in the media may or may not have some merit (otherwise why would google or these other companies put resources in to it?)

Rather than read the blogspam, read the papers instead though. Try to understand the merits of what's going on and apply it to your use case.

Blogspam? I demand satisfaction!

Let me clarify: Techcrunch articles talking about papers being published.

Blogspam to me is just something that talks about the stuff at such a high level, there's no meat in it. Within that subset I'm talking about academic concepts where you can learn a lot more if you just read the papers.

Before I get bombarded here, I think it's best to clarify that the word blogspam is a term thrown around a lot around here.

When the press talks about an academic paper, they tend not to add much value in terms of actually explaining what's going on. I think people drawing their own conclusions from the original works is the better way to go. Obviously not everyone will agree with me here, but so be it.
