Nik Suresh wrote an evisceration of the current AI hype boom called "I Will F**king Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again." AI Operations Without Fundamental Engineering Discipline // MLOps Podcast #250 with Nikhil Suresh, Director @ Hermit Tech. // Abstract Nik is on the podcast because of an anti-AI hype piece, so a reasonable thing to discuss is going to be what most companies are getting wrong when non-technical management wants to immediately roll out ML initiatives, but are unwilling to bring technical naysayers on board who will set them up for success. // Bio Nik is the author of ludic.mataroa.blog, who wrote "I Will [REDACTED] Piledriver You If You Mention AI Again", and mostly works in the data engineering and data science spaces. Nik's writing and company both focus on bringing more care to work, pushing back against the industry's worst excesses both technically and spiritually, and getting fundamentals right. Nik also has a reasonably strong background in psychology. His data science training was of the pre-LLM variety, circa. 2018, when there was a lot of hype but it wasn't this ridiculous. // MLOps Jobs board https://mlops.pallet.xyz/jobs // MLOps Swag/Merch https://mlops-community.myshopify.com/ // Related Links Website: https://ludic.mataroa.blog/
