>Just try to find someone with a burning ambition to learn. That seems like the key to get someone capable in the long run. If they point out something beyond Kaggle that makes you think, pay attention to that feeling — it means they’re in it for more than the money.

If you're teaching them, you shouldn't be paying them at the AI expert rate.

Corporations love people with experience but they don't want to actually invest in creating those people. If nobody is supposed to hire people who have only taken classes or done tutorials, how do you actually get people who have that experience? Or are these guys expecting us to bootstrap our own PhD before they deign to speak to us?
