I had a thought the other day. I think the biggest issue with AI at the moment, is it being developed primarily by scientists and business people, rather than engineers. #AI #LLM #ArtificialInteligence

@Tirial I appreciate the point about working with limited resources, but I don't think scientists versus engineers is the right framing for your point. With some few exceptions, mostly scientists are on a very tight budget and have to be very creative to build the tech they need in a very resource constrained way. I also don't find current machine learning to be 'scientific' in the sense that there is very little focus on 'understanding'. Their benchmarks are very unscientific.
@neuralreckoning I agree about the scientific budget constraints (I have no seed funding) but the science argument I was trying to make was less about resource management than about the singular focus. If I want to know something, say how a SG neuron is affected by noise exposure, I can drill right down to a single point, and I can do things that don’t need to scale, at all. I totally agree about ML benchmarks as well.
