       | I have a feeling that your typical smart software engineer
       | (probably works on large-scale infra) became increasingly jaded
       | re: ML, while the field continues to deliver astonishing
       | achievements regardless.

       | Maybe its the usual ressantiment towards "a hyped field", which
       | only strengthened after the advances continued and the prophecied
       | neo-AI winter failed to happen. Maybe its compensation envy.
       | Maybe math envy. Maybe disdain for softer " faulty" error-prone
       | computing paradigms in general.
       | 
       | Anyway, as a non-ML software engineer I find the field genuinely
       | interesting from mathematical, engineering and philosophical POV.
       | Recent advances such as CLIP became very practical even for
       | small-scale personal use.

       | If you are interested in large multimodal models, feel free to
       | chat.
