I work on a research team in FAANG. What it really feels like is one company made everyone else obsolete. And we are going to work working on NLP models that underperform ChatGPT by a huge margin. Twiddling my thumbs and keeping quiet while no one wants to recognize the elephant in the room. Also, there is no "working in AI", a few thousand people are doing real AI at most. The rest of us are calling an API.

If you think GPT is just about chat, you've misunderstood LLMs.
Probably not the right place to post this, but I really want someone to build a ChatGPT service that reviews consumer EULAs and highlights the important stuff, and can tell me what changes with them each time I have to reaccept or get notified. It's a subset of making legalese digestible, but bringing more visibility into the density of them would be wondrous.

I see what you mean; but as external observer to both, I see crypto as having failed to provide or prove any particularly productive use; and chatGPT, for all its flaws, has been useful to me daily for last 2 months - and not in some crazy make-money-in-suspicious-ways sense, but like learning french and python and figuring out new concepts and stuff. But that's sample n=1 I suppose, there are both people that believ…
I wonder how much of usefulness of ChatGPT that some report is caused by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novelty_effect Because it is new, and cool, and fascinating people are spending a bit more time with a bit more focus on the task with it compared to the old ways, hence the productivity increase. Once the novelty wears off…
Does it get things wrong? Sure. But generally the subtle ways it might get stuff wrong would be the way I would subtly misunderstand things while learning. So, it's definitely not perfect, but "not letting perfect be the enemy of good" and all that.

Popular things = crypto ? I’d say the differentiator is that in addition to hype scammers, you have people like Stephen Wolfram excited.
The absolutely-not-hype-susceptible man who has been claiming for the past 20 years to have produced a fundamental theory of everything based on his research into finite-state automata?
I've found it exceptionally hard to stay positive about all of this. It almost feels as though the advent of LLMs has shined light on a fundamental law of the universe that does not work out in the little person's favor. It's like survival of the fittest on steroids. Guys, what the heck are we doing??

Huge crypto vibes Every single person I know working in AI these days ... has been sparked by the ChatGPT moment.
Not everything that catches fire is destined to leave nothing but ashes in its wake.
