I mean he repeateadly gave some hints (even if just for the lulz and not seriously) that the audience is at least partially composed of people with little technical background or AI bros. An example is when he mentioned LSTMs and said "many of you may never seen before". Even if he didn't mean it, ironically it ended being spot on when the crypto question came.

I have never seen the term "AI bros". What does it mean?

A person with little or no technical background, that neither knows nor cares about AI (or other scientific/mathematical advancements) other than their potential to make the AI bro rich. There is a big overlap with crypto bros, and in fact many AI bros are just grifters who moved on after crypto tanked with the recent fed funds rate hikes.

Recent as in 18 months ago.

Not recent as in the last 3 months.

Parent presumably coined the term but it's pretty clear what it means from similarly to techbro, brogrammer, cryptobro etc.

Kinda, pretty sure I've read it somewhere else before. Plus, it has entries in Urban Dictionary from early 2023.

It's just someone who involves themselves in AI but as a slur.

Analogous to tech bro, crypto bro.

I.e. someone who has shallow technical understanding or independent thought, but is following trends in hopes of turning a profit.

As someone who is at NeurIPS right now with a main conference paper, I was shocked at how many NeurIPS attendees had no paper. At ACL conferences, almost every person attending has a paper (even if it's only at a workshop)

NeurIPS is "ruined" by the money and thus attracts huge amounts of people who are all trying to get rich. It's a bloody academic conference people!

A lot and I will write up a huge response to this after I’ve processed it all…
