I’ve been doing it for a decade+ and I’m inclined to agree but it pays well and there’s no shortage of buyers. Even straight up named a model GIPSy once with a crystal ball logo, had a pretty good run.

There is no real green concrete tech. Meaning there is not a technology within 10x current concrete mfg and pouring cost

Walmart has totally predatory relationships with almost everyone in the supply chain. There are lots of great things that aren’t sold at Walmart because Fuck walmart

Nonono you don’t understand. Blackrock has “put the word out” so no VC will invest in this profitable company because it will be so wildly successful that it will actually damage Blackrock’s investments in residential housing.

Not exactly. Most often you need to stand up a company and do MaaS. So you need sales folks and a website and probably a product guy, some full stack devs to build functional architecture for I/O, selling compute, etc.
You also need to start building your datasets because often clients are going to come to you without the data the model needs.
Another good example that was recently acquired is goldfire.ai
These guys built a really good NLP model. Sold it as a tool and an interface for interacting with it (MaaS) Built up a book of business and sold the company to a multinational.
Building a good model is hard, but it’s just one piece of the puzzle. Next stop is incorporate and start working on your bells and whistles.
My thesis was on fleet management and dynamic traffic assignment so I’m intrigued. Who would you sell this to? Will they have the data the model needs or will you have to help them build the pipelines?
How do they generate revenue with the model?

Probably not. You can try to build a company around it, serve it via API, and do MaaS. Look at Kensho as an example. If you’re doing something truly revolutionary you could end up north of 100m.
More likely you should just get a job as a data scientist.
What does your model predict and how good is it?

Amen we’ve been doing satellite image time series analytics and deep learning keeps getting pushed off in favor of classification models based on complex features
