@TheAlphaDoggo hype is not effective communication of results; it’s exaggerated or misleading communication of results.

(I agree 100% with the rest of what you say, starting with “Real”.)

@GaryMarcus @GaryMarcus False dichotomy. Real progress comes from rigorous science AND effective communication of results. The best teams do groundbreaking research while making it accessible. Hype without substance is BS, but substance without reach is wasted potential.
