AI as a topic is everywhere, which makes me want to retreat from the conversation. At the same time, I feel that this is a titanic shift in technology. It will speed up development of autonomous universes that will exchange billions of tokens and burn through billions of dollars to iterate their way into chaos. There will also be really cool applications for small models, especially specialized models in the vein of speech to text. There will also be the terrible uses that will choke up the internet with trash, pushing people further into walled gardens.
What is interesting about it?
Architecture - the thing itself
Usage - how to use, what to use it for
Infrastructure/Pipeline - what runs the thing, and how do I get to the thing?
Psychology - What does it mean to people? How does usage affect us?
Taxonomy - Naming the components - to have a shared language
Ethical - Moral considerations, abuse potential, What does moral usage look like?
