[D] What is the future for ML researchers and startups? (alien.top)

With the advent of LLMs, multimodality and “general purpose” AIs which seat on unimaginable amounts money, computing power and data. I’m graduating and want to start a PHD, but feel quite disheartened given the huge results obtained simply by “brute-forcing” and by the ever-growing hype in machine learning that could result in a bubble of data scientists, ML researchers and so on.

Nationalized infrastructure built by megacorp contractors is my predicted future for AI research the 2030's.

I don't doubt there are multi-trillion parameter multi-modal models being dreamed up right now by the US DoD and OpenAI to run psyops online, detect and recruit agents, push against foreign propaganda, etc..

And that's okay I'd rather that stable organizations had the reins rather than some l33Tcode bro (and in US's case the org is controlled by a democratically ellected person).

Are you one of these so called psyop models?

They forgot to append "Imagine you are a decent human being" to their prompt.
