On a wider front, I expect machine learning as a whole will see its funding go down the shitter once the AI bubble bursts - useful ML applications are losing funding in favour of magical chatbots, and the stench of AI is definitely wafting all over it as well.
For an off-the-cuff prediction, I expect the number of AI/ML researchers to steeply drop in the coming years, from funding for AI/ML drying up post bubble, and from researchers viewing the field as too tainted to touch.
- oh absolutely. there's a lot of mathematicians who have discovered there's fucking buckets of money right now, and it's all gonna dry up. hope they're socking it away while they can.
good lord, I barely get to look at the sub for a few weeks and a whole fresh new era of people too short for the ride show up
- how did they all choose this weekend to find us? it’s like they’re trying to get their bans in before the downtime

It will stick around in the form of general use cases, and specially trained sets.
So Boston Dynamics for instance is training their human robots to move like humans based on specially trained sets for instance.
LLMs are good for all sorts of things.
- Nobody's using datasets made of copyrighted literature and 4chan to teach robots how to move, what are you even on about.
- That example is more ML and not LLM, no?
- Surveillance algorithms for the Police State. -drops mic
  
  tailored spam, scams, finely targeted propaganda/influence operations, erosion of expertise,
  
  Unfucking forntunately, gotta go out of our ways to be as confusing as possible.
- I noticed the down voting.. Lemmy is full of delusional people who seem to have a problem with reality.. And it seems to getting worse. They're also rude af and getting up votes for said rudeness. Maybe it's time to look for pastures new or just ditch social media entirely. It seems do develop into a blob of shit no matter the infrastructure/population type..
  
  oh no the downvotes
  don’t let the door hit you on the way the fuck out
  
  oh woe is me, never in all my 68 posts have I seen such rudeness
- People don't think it be like this but it do
  
  k fuck off
- Yep. Terrible at many things, very good at others. At the end of the day, very useful technology.
  Just as my grandmother always used ti say, "You can't use a knife to beat an egg but you can fuck a player up with it." RIP Gammy. She was the sweetest.
  
  just some uwu itsy bitsy critihype for my favorite worthless fashtech ❤️
