Stuff does happen though. - Facebook enters the geolocation game (dowalla/foursquare/instagram) - Google releases reviews to maps (yelp & co) - Amazon starts it's own airline (Fedex) - Microsoft adds ChatGPT to search (Kagi, Duckduckgo, etc..) Sometimes it's hard to recover your startup when a big player does something to fill the void you were targeting.
Aren't we maybe jumping the gun here a little? Human creations are far better still than AI ones. People seem to (very understandably) conflate "impressive because of the technology" with "good," but either way thats not going to last forever, even for the most passionate AI-heads. We will take this stuff for granted pretty soon here, and then inevitability remember again what actually enjoying and connecting with a…

all those companies are part of a botnet and you should not be training their AI models with your data.
> AI develops so quickly that waves of new ideas keep coming: quantum AI, self-supervised learning, transformers, diffusion models, large language models, and on and on. I wonder what’s wrong with us as a species. We love to run into one direction all together chasing the next big thing just until the next big trend comes along. Quantum AI crypto LLMs for the win!
> OpenAI, is estimated to have reached 100 million monthly active users in January
That's 1.3% of the estimated population of our species. It's only 1/3 of US population.

The viewpoint described in the article, particularly the emotion of envy. I have been working on this stuff since 2005 or so and I can do more than I ever did and if there is one thing I am certain of it is that other people are going to research things and publish even better models in the future that I'm going to download from huggingface or whatever comes next. (On the other hand the fact that I know how to pose w…
how do you convince clients to improve data collection?

Right, I'm sure you went down to the blacksmith to have some artisan made cutlery for your kitchen when you needed some new forks?
Maybe chopsticks?
All AI projects are valuable, but it's annoying and demotivating to work hard on a unique and useful project and have no one read/use it because it doesn't stand out in the extremely rapidly-evolving ecosystem. Most of my AI text-generation and image-generation projects and tools have already become obsolete by technology released in the past few months, and I've almost given up competing.
"It will be unlikely we will be able to plan for the disruption as it will simply happen before anyone can reason about what is likely to happen next or what to do about it. Any such planning efforts will be obsolete before they begin"

I've written a fairly long piece with some related content, the most relevant portion is the section "AI owns creativity". Would be interested in your point of view.

One advise I'll never forget (from an interview with late mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani) is that you don't have to race faster than everyone else (although if you can, that's great!). You can just run in a direction no one is running toward (and hopefully be persistent). Then you're only racing yourself and speed is largely irrelevant. I myself know I'm very slow, specially developing projects. So I don't try to ra…
Problem is that's not how academic funding works. Grants are generally not given to possible dead ends.
