I did two post docs and they were great. I learned many valuable things, foremost among them that it was time to get the fuck out of academia.
Seriously I regret nothing, I had a great time.
The best was when you heard how the Professors got their job back in the 70s-80s.
They generally just finished a PhD and were given a position!
Literally my advisor. Like damn.
Real talk: it’s been widely understood that AI–in its current state–is an unreliable source of factual information. Why the hell is Google pushing it at the top of search results?
$$$$$
What money tho
The real answer is that there is currently an AI arms race (mostly) between Google and OpenAI.
The way that the modern internet economy works is that the winners generally take the majority of the market and everyone else takes the scraps.
I work in machine learning and have spoken with some of the Google engineers about it recently. They said that when ChatGPT blew up last year, it sent shockwaves through the whole company. They had thought that they were ahead on AI, but suddenly realised that they were WAY behind.
Now they are putting a ton of effort into trying to push new models and uses because they are worried about becoming the “Bing of AI” rather than the “Google of AI”
