You can&#x27;t promote your own tool at the top of a unbiased-list-of-good-tools without disclosure. (EDIT: I see it was added)<p>Also the blog&#x2F;submission title is clickbait and likely an outright lie. From the original article&#x2F;thoughtpiece (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.forbes.com&#x2F;sites&#x2F;groupthink&#x2F;2018&#x2F;02&#x2F;09&#x2F;traditional-recruiting-isnt-enough-how-ai-is-changing-the-rules-in-the-human-capital-market&#x2F;#4b281e0c274a" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.forbes.com&#x2F;sites&#x2F;groupthink&#x2F;2018&#x2F;02&#x2F;09&#x2F;tradition...</a>) you cite as a source, emphasis mine.<p>&gt; For example, fully 80 percent of machine learning engineers <i>with Ph.D.s</i>. are scooped up by Google and Facebook, especially those that have patents.

How would you build a business on something you do not understand well? I&#x27;ve worked with startups who could not get past that 80% barrier you run into with your machine learning algorithms. They didn&#x27;t know if their data was bad, their algorithm was bad or whatever the issue was because they ere not using data a human could easily conceptualize.
