Student. Same conclusion. I don't even know what to do anymore. Not enough ideas or interest to get into LLMs before they frankly left the station completely. Can't reskill into anything, by the time I do it'll be upturned by GenAI too. Robotics will be solved by the time I would be able to become a researcher.

I've reached this state of low-grade depair about it all. It's like I'm being constricted at all times. Ended up placing my faith in Christ which I think is my only source of hope now, that there is some joy beyond this broken world. It's rough.

It's a shame that AI seems to be causing a lot of despair, even prior to its vision being complete.

I was forced to implement AI systems that toasted many of our employees.

Toasted? With, like, an oven? Or do you mean with champagne?

Are you one of those people who has a plaque hanging in his home with the "proper" definition of "literally"?

Are you one of those people who, when faced with someone who tells you they don't understand what you're saying, responds with snarky rhetorical questions?

Oh, you were serious?

To be "toast", or done for.

What is this vision you hint at? Everyone seems to have a different opinion as to this "vision of AI". Is it good? Or is this vision one of "despair" as you mentioned and it is coming early?

We get it, you found Jesus. Now stop injecting that into every one of your comments.

My dad was introduced to boolean algebra and the ideas of early computing in high school in the early 1960s and found it interesting but didn't pursue a career in it because he figured all the interesting problems had already been solved. He ended up having a successful career in something unrelated but he always tells the story as a cautionary tale.

I don't think it's too late for anyone to learn LLM internals, especially if they're young.

Frankly, I can't agree on any of this. Majority of the state of AI is way faar from where it can be really useable. We are nowhere near AI, that is emulating our intellect, besides - the byproduct of AI is much bigger than any pesky LLMs - understanding how our brain works and eventually making human megamind, that can persist through hormonal changes that humans go and what makes our life so unstable and full of changes.

Robotics - is nowhere near the promise as well - we are nowhere near biological entities(not made from metal) with syntetic brains, not to mention biological robotic arms that humans can use as prostetics while they are regrowing natural limbs. So much to learn.

As for the Jesus. That is not really a deep subject. We know what Jesus was as a human - his real life and his violent and human nature(as a military representative of cult, that was lead by John the Baptist) has nothing to do with how it is portrayed by religion. History of how Christianity started and including about Jesus was one of the easiest problems that I have encountered and wished to know and I fullfilled just recently.
