Be ware of marketing & buzz works ...

This has huge potential and will be the biggest disruption in labour market next 20-30y eliminating plenty of white collar jobs, but there is also a lot of garbage in it.

P.S: Actual innovation is not so much, most of the fundamental research was done by people like Turing and von Neumann decades ago. We are still ripping the benefits, like in most other engineering areas.

What so computer algorithms are a new thing?

Just continuation of a long established trend.

I'm thinking of marketing the "Stick yer head up yer own arse" economy, because that's an ongoing trend.
