Data Science Storytime

Kyle and Kevin are back, this time discussing the concept of a ‘cyborg company’. What exactly is a cyborg company and how is it relevant? Kyle explains that like the part-man part-machine cyborg, the modern company has machine parts and human parts, each with its own distinct strengths and weaknesses.Can you identify your company’s machine parts? Why should you even bother trying? Human judgement oriented companies are doomed to fail. Purely machine driven companies also have major shortcomings. They aren’t creative and won’t value life. Listen in on Kyle and Kevin’s take on how to go about building a ‘cyborg company’ that combines the best of both worlds.

In the latest Data Science Storytime, Kyle and Kevin imagine what the future will look like where more companies take a cue from Google and Facebook and start counting & measuring everything. Hear the pair discuss why there is so much potential in companies like Tesla and why all the deep learning buzz might not be all it’s cracked up to be.

Keen IO’s Kevin Wofsy and Kyle Wild return for the second installment of Data Science Storytime. Kyle tells the tale of his early, Tom Sawyeresque business ventures. From selling the family’s groceries at school, to paying kids to do his chores (with money from a bootleg video game website), entrepreneurship took many forms for the young Mr. Wild. But it wasn’t always smooth sailing. Hear what life lessons were reluctantly learned by Kyle before Keen.

In the debut of Data Science Storytime, Kevin Wofsy and Kyle Wild brainstorm the concept of the show, debate the difference between data science and non-data science, and recount the story of the action-hero data scientist who skipped a meeting with Kyle to rescue a little girl trapped on a mountain (or so he assumes).Tune in for all this and plenty more as they consider the many ways data shapes our lives and activates our imagination, today and in the future.
