Just bumped into the classiest resume of them all:

Not only has the resume swag but the guy who made it actually has creds, having developed amongst other the YOLO machine learning algorithm for object detection in a picture, powerful enough to be referenced in modern textbooks on machine learning. When publishing a third version of that algorithm he added in the article:

But maybe a better question is: “What are we going to do with these detectors now that we have them?” A lot of the people doing this research are at Google and Facebook. I guess at least we know the technology is in good hands and definitely won’t be used to harvest your personal information and sell it to… wait, you’re saying that’s exactly what it will be used for?? Oh.

Well the other people heavily funding vision research are the military and they’ve never done anything horrible like killing lots of people with new technology oh wait…[1]

[1] The author is funded by the Office of Naval Research and Google

If this is the tone where academia is headed maybe I’ll consider getting back for a postdoc.

That’s ancient! If my account were ancient enough to have been here when it was new, I’d probably be zapping it to Repostland.

Ok, that’s wrong. I have a bullshit job but it’s describable in 3 words.

I wish. “Porn star” would do (beating the rule by one word), but that was just a one-off. My day to day job is different, yet still describable in 3 words.

Edit: wait, I think it would be “I did porn”, so it’s not better. Sorry.
