Some career do-nothing-but-make-noise in my organization hired a firm to 'Do AI' on some shitty data and the outcome was basically linear regression. It turns out that you can impressive executives with linear regression if you deliver it enthusiastically enough.

Tbh, often enough, linear regression is exactly what is needed.

		Yes, and we do it every day and call it 'linear regression' and don't need a data center full of expensive toys to do it

Not everyone knows everything so knowledge is the new oil.

I do know about linear regression even had quite some of it at university.

But I still wouldn’t be able to just implement it on some data without good couple days to weeks of figuring things out and which tools to use so I don’t implement it from scratch.

Implement it...from scratch? Its literally least squares regression. Its a few lines of code. What are you trying to say here?

		You have to get the data first build all data processing pipelines to get your parameters for linear regression.
