If some tech influencer claims they have a roadmap for the next five years of AI and machine learning, here's how you can be prepared, they are just trying to sell you a course. I have 2 friends friend who are Al researcher at one of the top frontier labs and I'll tell you an open secret in the Silicon Valley. The very people building these massive models have absolutely no idea where we are actually headed.
One thing you need to realize about AI is AI isnโt a closed engineering problem lilike say building a car. we know everything there is to know about a car but for AI it's this strange living learning developing thing that we still don't fully understand how or why it works at scale. Itโs not closed or open in the normal sense.
AI has advanced so rapidly with so much money being poured into it that the timeline for major breakthroughs has collapsed so quickly that the engineering has entirely outpaced the science. Like just 2 years ago we learned about emergent properties. AI learning stuff it wasn't trained for explicitly. AI being fed coding corpus somehow learning French in the process etc. Why this happens still not properly understood. Just theories about information hierarchies.
Much of the tech industry rn is stuck in massive hype cycle. Everyone is moving where ever the investor money blowing, in whichever way the wind turns. There is no master plan or milestones these companies operate on. They are just reacting to what they've built rather than executing a predictable master plan. Like oh wow AI did this. Interesting. Not validation of theory but discovery. No body can tell with 100% certainty that this or this is going to happen. If he does he is either some ultra genius who can see the future or someone who has no idea what he is talking about. We will just have to wait and watch how all this will play out in this decade
