I was chatting with a Mag7 high-level engineer. He even has his own LLM-wrapper startup. He seemed knowledgeable, talking about his specialty in search and knowledge graph. Then I mentioned my project use Ordinary Different Equation network and Spiking Neural Network in addition to Transformers, because it is a physical AI project. It went way over his head. He thought I was using math equations so started explaining elementary stuff like inference versus training. I tried to explain to him again. He was generally not interested and said generative models can already handle all that. Didn’t even know what a LSTM is. Same experience at the Nvidia conference last October. Hundreds of booths, trillions of valuations, I couldn’t find a single person interested in AI model design. Is this field full of engineers and coders who never studied AI? It’s all about scaling, wrapping, and benchmarks. Most of them genuinely don’t and don’t want to understand the science behind it. submitted by /u/RockyCreamNHotSauce
