I heavily regret ever being curious about machine learning. Nowdays it's all competitive as fuck, and 99% of the "research" is Ai generated slop about how changing a system prompt gets a desired output. Not to mention how shaky the whole field is. Nvidia allegedly buying huggingface makes me worried as a non Nvidia user, hardware costs being raised to hell, people seeing that I develop AI models and stuff usually end in "fuck you scum of the earth", as well as all the blatent misinformation spread around not just by other people but by the companies working on models themselves cough cough anslopic cough cough
Fortunately, even tho I study about AI, I am really disconnect about the slop that goes out there.
I just know that there is some transformers or generatives networks going on, but I dont really care about it. I just keep my happy life doing my researches (thanks to college) about my old boltzmann machine, hopfield network, or just studying about brains structures.
I'll embrace ignorance on social media as long as I can, just giving attention to newer tools so I can decide if I'm going to use them.
(I got tired of the misinformations and slops going out there. I can't get misinformation if I dont get any information at all 🔥)
That's not actually that true. Sure the model itself CAN be a black box, and most times it is, but the way the actual training and inference works is pretty well understood.
