Thats the start of the singularity. The changes will keep accelerating and less and less people will be able to keep up until only the AIs themselves know how to use.

I don’t think these are things to keep up with. Those would be actual fundamental advances in the transformer architecture and core elements around it.

This stuff is like front end devs building fad add-ons which call into those core elements and falsely market themselves as fundamental advancements.

People thought the same in the ‘90’s. The argument that technology accelerates and “software eats the world” doesn’t depend on AI.

It’s not exactly wrong, but it leaves out a lot of intermediate steps.

Yes and as we rely on AI to help us choose our tools... the phenomena feels very different, don't you think? Human thinking, writing, talking, etc is becoming less important in this feedback loop seems to me.

[matthewaveryusa]

Nah, we'll create AI to manage the AI....oh

abstractions all the way down:
