Consider the past four months of life through the filter of from?site=debarshibasak.github.io : We've gone beyond DevOps, and have suffered the Death of the Roadmap. It is acknowledged that the Easy part of building is over, and We wonder if GitHub is still needed. Many things remain unclear of course, due to the Cambrian Explosion of AI.

Disclaimer, my summary is human generated

This blog is human generated too. I am just expressing my thoughts and what I am observing around me.

sometimes it's best to take HN with a grain of salt

AmazingEveryDay has a lot of critical takes here

Oh actually I was just expressing my thoughts also - did not mean to imply your blog was not human generated. Maybe my contributions are too snarky and critical as someone else stated. Carry on!

Gemini has to be the Opabinia of the AI explosion then? :)

Open source models: trilobites

ChatGPT: Hallucigenia

Claude: Haikouichthys

????: Anomalocaris

Hand-written code: Ediacaran biota :(

This term "Cambrian explosion of AI" was used by Jenseng Huang of Nvidia and the author could have atleast credited this to Jenseng or mentioned something about his talks or speeches

I didnt know that. I'm not going to give credit to every person out there who used the term cambrian explosion.

i'm sure jensen huang will be fine. He has one or two other accomplishments to his name

And was famously the only person to use the phrase Cambrian explosion, ever

I hate to rain on your parade... but I used it too.

Not sure if woosh or meta-meta-meta troll...

Yeah. I like to think of myself as the Nathan Fielder of HN.

As AI is used to do analysis, why not Cambridgian Analytical Explosion?. Is a boundary much more clear in the Antropocene stratification, marking the start of the Robozoic.

Is a beige background now mandatory for the AI cult?

This is just the daily agitprop to keep people going.

The blog is not AI generated. I typed it out. The website yes. The goal was to keep it clean, I didnt care about what color it was. But then you are seeing it in daytime. It also has a night mode.

Ugh, I am so tired of people drawing a comparison between large language models and life. They’re so different they’re not even comparable.

I respect your perspective.

Everyone is trying to build a POV on agents, AI and LLM, how it is going impact everyone and indivually. I believe, lack of any baseline for a tech shift like this, people to draw references from theories and anecdotes to build their understanding. Thats all what I am doing.

I imagine the change from oil lamps to electricity was a similar paradigm shift. What do you mean one company controls if I can or can't light my home?

Cambrian Explosion of AI Slop

Cambrian splooge

Several weeks ago, we published a more substantive article using this very same analogy:

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/announcing-universal-mathemat...

The article describes a unifying mathematical framework for representing neural network architectures. It can be used to describe existing ones, like transformers and convolution, but can also be used to generate entirely novel ones. As part of our research, we generated several thousand new architectures, some of which show remarkable properties. The corresponding research paper is up on arXiv:

>we know what triggered this Cambrian explosion: GPT

I'm not sure it was that so much as the exponential improvement in hardware over many decades reaching roughly human equivalent levels.

I mean check out Moravec's 1997 paper predicting things will get funky in the mid 2020s long before anyone had thought of GPTs https://www.jetpress.org/volume1/moravec.htm
