1/ Lately, this has unnerved me A LOT. If you say a few buzzwords and have at least a tutorial-level understanding of them (e.g. "deep learning"), otherwise smart people often feel compelled to give you their time, money, or business thinking, "I've struck gold." https://twitter.com/Aelkus/status/1123023204510052352 …

Have you ever read
@nntaleb's Black Swan? This seems roughly like a similar dynamic to me: once the impression of competence one gives to another, especially technological, passes a certain threshold, one seems often to get promoted to "wizard" in the other's eyes. -
Basically, it seems to irrationally break the other's faculties for accurately gauging the upside.

My guess, as a guy who doesn't have the ability to believe my own bullshit, is that it is also extremely validating to get big money in exchange, essentially, for your confidence. To become some sort of "confidence man."
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
