This is excessive. It is high-school level (in the worst case scenario 1 or 2 college/uni years).
Yeah, a bit higher than the minimum wage.
It seems to be inflated wages not based on skills but on technical fashion trends.
Mafia?
I am very confused by your comment. Are you claiming that $900k median compensation is only a bit higher than minimum wage?
Or are you claiming that some of the smartest AI researchers in the world are only slightly more qualified than the average high-schooler?
Either claim is roughly equally absurd.
There is little maths to show off "AI skills", then there are many scammers.
If there is so much money, which is where the "absurd" is, better target people with validated maths PHDs. Moreover, those researchers will need access to super computers in order to test at scale their work (because it all about stability at scale), and that's a limiting parameter.
Additionally, "AI" is just a set of empirical algorithms attempting to mimic human cognition. The trick is to find mathematical stability (production, training, etc) for large scale simulated connectomes: I am still surprised there is still not a "sleep" regime for those articial connectomes, which we know is critical for brain stability, maybe it is a part of the new "training" regimes.
I am still waiting for the educational material which will let people picture a connectome based on the latest "transformers". Because, in the end, nobody understands anything about this, it is beyond us. It will be hard to tell apart the scammers looking to steal fundings from the others.
