> no new alternative to backpropagation, no radically new architectures that go beyond convolutional filters.
Attention
My point wasn't about lack of investment/propagation of fundamental research that is not trendy, it was about hijacking what should be science by "softy PhDs" that found a niche in less demanding areas and will likely impose their will over the ones who are doing hard science and not politics, like how CoCs were recently used to take control over open source/free software licenses by some fringe non-technical groups. It's a pattern that is repeating across all industry and academia in the past, the ones that move field forward are often displaced by their "soft-skilled" and less-capable peers.
