Agreed. Comparing the 'paradigm' of AI and blockchain makes no frigging sense at all.
It's actually frightening to see how little VCs have an understanding of the technical details, with blockchain very much still being in the hype zone where reason is not desirable.
IT makes sense to mix AI and blockchain on very specific cases. But dropping names as hype is bad. Probably nothing obvious about AI and blockchain.
Big data isn't just applied statistics, big data is just data.
What is the synergy by talking about them together other than they are the flavor of the month buzz words?
Good God people, the second or third slide in the article has "AI(ML,data science, big data)"
All of which are literally just applied statistics.
