Since the job description includes 70-80 hours I expect that they are paying more. It would be normal to assume a 70/40 or 80/40 pay rate, that is, about twice the normal rate for a leading edge programmer. So, base salary should probably start north of $500,000 per year. And those hours will require working both at work and at home so you should expect a fully funded home-office and half-coverage of your rent. I'm willing to bet that won't happen.

Agreed. If this was a hourly position, and if the base pay was around $150,000, that would put it just shy of the $400,000 range just to account for all the overtime.
Of course, it won't be paid hourly; it's much easier to abuse salaried individuals.
Maybe not:
Previous experience with machine learning, such as experience from completing the Coursera Machine Learning and/or deeplearning.ai MOOCs
If that's the experience level, then this is an entry-level job.

Nowhere near enough.
It should be higher?

Personally, I would expect at least time and a half applied to those last 30-40 hours as well. Which would be 85/40 to 100/40.

Stupid question: what does a pay rate in the form "x/y" mean?

Normal rate is 40 hours/wk. New rate is (e.g.) 80 hrs per week, so the pay should reflect that. 80/40 or 2/1 or 2x the rate.

Derp, should have been obvious from context. Thanks!

Is that even legal to demand a 70+ hour 'work ethic'?
