I find it absurd that, compared to the past, large companies now have more abundant stock prices and cash than ever before, yet nearly every AI Lab in these companies is facing greater pressure than ever, being asked to generate short-term profits. In the midst of AI's unprecedented boom, the research environment and atmosphere in the industry seem to have worsened compared to the past.

Not prepared for what? Seems like the rest of the world is desperate to be shown the way to unlock something of value?
I think at this point it's software devs looking for the value unlock. Non-software devs are actually making functional programs for themselves for the first time ever. The value is crazy.
Sure but I'm the real world do you think businesses are going to deploy piles of code into production generated this way? No, non technical people will continue to whip up MS PowerApps. AI generated code has no value to many businesses.

#24Working in big tech it's pretty wild to see how integral AI has become to our work internally, vs the public perception of it. People are NOT prepared.
1. Hyperbolic statement about LLM capabilities with no concrete examples 2. Wild claim that the companies that sell LLMs are actually downplaying their capabilities instead of hyping them
Yup, he's totally lying. Not happening. Just carry on.

Is this Meta’s lab pressured to generate short term profits?
Which other under pressure labs are you talking about?

#26I am not surprised because the culture at meta is not at all, even in the slightest, to focus on science for the sake of it. It’s actively actively purged out of you. The focus is on metrics and how the bottom line is impacted. So this is in line with that

Agreed, but why are they lying?
Re: Meta Superintelligence Labs' first paper is about RAG
#28It's kinda funny, Meta has long had some of the best in the field, but left them untapped. I really think if they just took a step back and stop being so metric focused and let their people freely explore then they'd be winning the AI race. But with this new team, I feel like meta mostly hired the people who are really good at gaming the system. The people that care more about the money than the research. A bit of th…
I thought Alex Wang was a very curious choice. There are so many foundational AI labs with interesting CEOs... I get that Wang is remarkable in his own right, but he basically just built MTurk and timed the bubble.
Doesn't really scream CEO of AGI to me.

#29Here is a video I made diving into the paper, hopefully helpful!

Yeah and this problem is near impossible to fix once it has infested into the culture of the firm.
