> shut down ALL research
  > shaming machine learning researchers

It’s quite hard to make any suggestion to a researcher these days, especially AI researchers who think they know it all.

Even calling research work as “research” is not well received many times :)

This is one of the reasons I’d like this bubble to burst soon, so that we can focus on applying the resources we got efficiently, rather than pursing - many times pointless - “bleeding-edge” research.
