How I got into deep learning

I too would like to work with smart people. The answer.ai article about how great invention is made was very inspiring. This article tells me that I could have made some different life choices to achieve this, and ultimiately it is on my hand to behave differently.

It gravely saddens me that this inspiration will fade off after a few days of getting distracted by endless meetings.

Q for Marker -

(for me the pinnacle of LLM vision models goal)
