A WSJ article on AI grabbed my attention, and it got me thinking about the split opinions in our industry. From where I'm standing, AI isn't just moving forward—it's speeding up like never before.
We've maxed out context window sizes, and open-source models are catching up to GPT-3.5, making it possible to do local inference. Embedding models, vector databases, generative voice tech, and media are all advancing at lightning speed. Plus, cloud GPUs are now cheaper and more accessible than ever, making tasks that were once tough seem almost easy.
So, how can anyone say "AI is losing steam"? 🤔
The article claims AI "could become a commodity." That's awesome. It's the "ephemeralization of value" happening right before our eyes—tech getting cheaper and more accessible, just like how today's smartphones are way more affordable and powerful than early personal computers. Open source is the poster child for this, giving everyone free access to top-notch tech.
Sure, the early investment opportunities in AI might be drying up, and a bunch of startups might crash and burn. Overhype and missteps are part of the game with any new tech wave. But the tech itself isn't slowing down; it's just growing up. 🚀
