Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
For actually-good tech, you want our NotAwfulTech community
how did they all choose this weekend to find us? it’s like they’re trying to get their bans in before the downtime

On a wider front, I expect machine learning as a whole will see its funding go down the shitter once the AI bubble bursts - useful ML applications are losing funding in favour of magical chatbots, and the stench of AI is definitely wafting all over it as well.
For an off-the-cuff prediction, I expect the number of AI/ML researchers to steeply drop in the coming years, from funding for AI/ML drying up post bubble, and from researchers viewing the field as too tainted to touch.
oh absolutely. there's a lot of mathematicians who have discovered there's fucking buckets of money right now, and it's all gonna dry up. hope they're socking it away while they can.
It will stick around in the form of general use cases, and specially trained sets.
So Boston Dynamics for instance is training their human robots to move like humans based on specially trained sets for instance.
LLMs are good for all sorts of things.
Nobody's using datasets made of copyrighted literature and 4chan to teach robots how to move, what are you even on about.
That example is more ML and not LLM, no?

Unfucking forntunately, gotta go out of our ways to be as confusing as possible.
