This happened to me. I was really really into AI when nobody even knew what it meant if not for hal, skynet and matrix, and now everybody talks of llms like they even know what the f they are.
Nah, nobody talks about LLMs. If I approached an average, everyday person about this topic, 99% of them wouldn’t know shit about it, while the tech-nerds all would.
It’s not mainstream at alllll yet. I introduced a pair of people I game with to openai/gpt3.5 like…a week ago and they were absolutely beside themselves using it.
What I mean is that “back in my day” there were maybe 10 people in the world seriously investigating strong AI
That’s unlikely. What’s more likely is that you were not yet exposed to AI research and did not read through the academic reviews and articles of the time. AI is a serious topic in science and engineering since more than half a century.
I know some people doing old-school logic-based AI research. They’re happy because there’s more AI funding in general, and they can present themselves as “what neural networks are missing” or “the next big thing”. Or they come up with projects involving hybrid systems.
You look like someone who eats hot dogs the long way
I’m pretty sure it’s about inserting hot dog shaped object in to the end of the digestive tract opposite the mouth.
Fr 10 years ago I was cool, but I kept doing the same things and now I’m just basic lol. Even the undercut became a popular hairstyle.
You sound like you’ve eaten the Roundmeal regularly since childhood.
That’s not an insult it’s a curse
Insult:
Your elevator doesn’t quite go all the way up.
You have all the creativity and emotional intelligence of a manager
One that I like that is also a curse rather than an insult is “I hope the rest of your day is as pleasant as you are”
