This feels unreal. It feels like a decade passed within a year.

I can't wait until it can do my job and then I will just run it on my PC and connect it to slack so my employeer will receive similar results of when I did it manually and I will be payed without spending any time actually working, I will be able to focus on my hobbies for once. This is how this all will play out in the end right?

Your employer can just replace you then and save the money

Somebody is gonna tell him right? I don't want to be the one to crush such innocence.

It was sarcasm.

Ahh sorry, I missed that. My bad. Have run into too many people that legitimately believe this :/

You should try using AI to gauge sentiment.

If you are the first. Yes dor a time. Make sure you duplicate your work among 500 other jobs and become a millionaire. Because it will last not so long when everyone finds out

start recording your thought process very detailed while solving problems, then train a model and sell the model to work as you, roll in money (likely not as you would be outcompeted by other models).

Yep you will be totally paid, don't worry !

the entire open source AI space feels like this right now. basically every day there is some new advancement that either makes something deemed impossible achievable and it's actually really hard to keep up with all the changes.

100% agreed. I've been developing deep neural networks for over 10 years and this is just surreal.

On the bright side, one source of "sanity" that I'm finding is to review a collection of daily "hot" publications in AI/ML curated here: https://huggingface.co/papers

Thanks for sharing.

True, the fact we now also have LLM models at 2.7B parameters that are "actually coherent and useful for niche work" like PHI-2 on my Macbook Air running super fast at 25 t/s or 12 t/s for Mistral_0.2 as an _somewhat_ knowledgable assistant / coder - is crazy!

Coherent models required dozens of billions of parameters just a year ago and something like Mistral was closer to 70B and reserved for server farms or crazy setups.

Locallama on Reddit has outdated info in from just a few months ago.

Now as a frontend developer I understand how folks complain the frontend landscape change so fast that it is impossible to keep up

as a frontend developer, you understood how folks complain about the changing frontend landscape, through....changes in ML, a completely different landscape to that of your own?

Are you an LLM?

At least this is innovation and always moving forward. For the frontend space sometimes it’s step backs, reinventing the wheel, or just because a new tool looks shinier…

These softwares develop faster than I can apt-get install them.

Not even ArchLinux’s rolling community repositories can keep up.

I’ve had to git clone everything like a package manager-less serf. Where even is my filesystem?!

Reminds me of an incremental game ( https://www.reddit.com/r/incremental_games/ ) - BTW, don't start playing one of those or you'll ruin your holidays... :)

This is the only thing that has me curious if that's how the progress curve feels like in the opening act of the Singularity.

We are on the lower bottom of the S curve.

Generating images on high end hardware and then...?
