That's fine. I do this full time. Despite it being new, I'm coming at it from a stand point of providing a platform for newer users and apps around it. You would be surprised the demand for industry.

You're right about this which is why I started a company around it.

I've already talked with andrew ng and yoshua bengio. My incentives are different from there's, however, I do have their blessings to continue doing this.

I walked in to this expecting skeptics. That being said, I love deep learning as a field and will be implementing every possible neural net I can. Since my incentives are different, I can explore the different use cases with customers and help further the field in different directions that might not make sense for say baidu, facebook ,or google.
