Oh God, the marketing of barely-understood tech-crafting recipes into new corporate jargon has turned into new acronyms to obfuscate the jargon, and is now accelerating even faster than AI.

Did you miss the NFT train? Have you ever asked yourself if this is what you should be doing with your life?

Just speaking as a guy who actually writes logic and code, rather than like, coming up with incantations and selling horseshit.

We are at the moment in time when LLMs are going from academia to engineering. It's pretty exciting. This is what the process looks like – people reading research papers, doing a bit of practical no-nonsense engineering, and sharing learnings with other engineers.

This will be on youtube as part of various "Top 5 tips to run AI in your app" in about 2 to 3 months.

And yes right now the challenge is figuring out how to productize these LLM things. The researchers are off figuring out what comes after LLMs, we're over here figuring out what to do with these things and how.

LLMs were never really academia

Eh if the deliverable is a research paper, you’re doing academia even if it says faang on the paystub.

get over it.

Why should I get over it? These people pretending to "research" and "engineer" are just paving the way for total control for a few owners of AI models, who have an unattainable amount of server power.

If you treat coding like learning the cheats of a videogame, you're not a coder, you're not a hacker, you're just a gamer and a fanboi. A consumer of whatever you're given.
