That's what happens if you let business idiots run everything
Management is the weakest link in any organisation.
All they have to do is just listen to the smart people on their team and collect a big paycheque, take credit when work goes well and blame the staff when work goes bad.
If they try to use their own ideas to run the business, this is what happens.
In my experience Software Engineers working in ML are, for the most part, also drinking their own Cool Aid, and need pushback from the rest of the company to keep them in check. So management also needs to know which smart people to listen to.
Well, that would be literally none of the ML programmers because so far its done nothing useful for society but waste electricity
Fairly sure there are some decent societal goods in outcomes around medical research and engineering
The best management is the one that also gets their hands dirty.
