Melonololoti··on AI groups spend to replace low-cost 'data labellers' with high-paid experts
Yepp it continues the gathering of more and better data.

Ai is not a hype. We have started to actually do something with all the data and this process will not stop soon.

Aline the RL what is now happening through human feedback alone (thumbs up/down) is massive.

Melonololoti··on US companies, consumers are paying for tariffs, not foreign firms
Why do you argue with 'below cost'?

If you mean that we exploit Chinese people by not giving them the proper salary, living standard and retirement fund, yeah true

But parallel to that, automatization has reached a level we never had before.

I don't think tarifs would lead to more capital in USA in the right/expected pockets.

Melonololoti··on How I keep up with AI progress
To have enough context in your mind to understand things faster and remember easier.

Getting it and also remembering it properly are different things.

And it might just be an hour installing ollama and UI tools and playing with it but it gives you a lot of Anker points/experiences .

Melonololoti··on How I keep up with AI progress
You still need to learn the names of models, understand their use cases, concepts like MoE, then you have different architectures like diffusion vs transformers, agents etc.

And then you have GenAI like flux and all the open source projects.

I think it's beneficial to get all of that and then keeping an eye on it to catch the moment when it becomes relevant for you and not being surprised and too late.
