   I was reading someone talk about the difference between an academic ML conference and a hypey industry AI conference and they said ‘it’s like the difference between chemistry and alchemy. Or between astronomy and astrology.’

   I really like that

     @jawnsy I wouldn’t put PyTorch in the industry AI side of things. Maybe somewhere down the middle
