Ask HN: How do you keep up with AI advances, esp. Stable Diffusion and GPT-3?
Every week there's a new progress made in the fields of language models and diffusion techniques. I think it's almost "too much" for me to handle, and I often feel like I'm left behind.
My gut feeling is that some (most?) these advances are not actually robust or that useful. But still, there's so much to keep in mind. I really like working in this field, but how do I keep myself up-to-date with all these AI achievements and filter noise from signal?

- behnamoh 4y agoCan you please share those bookmarks? I can search hn.algolia.com but don't know much about who to follow on other platforms.

- joshxyz 4y agoi dont, i just accept my fate and offer my full submission to our future ai overlords. seriously i cant even grok the math behind those things, those are way beyond me. but to be fair, hn posts and comments are great so far in coming up with possible use cases for these things.
- raymondh 4y agoIf it weren't for Hacker News, I wouldn't have a chance to keep up with the new progress.
- tkanarsky 4y agoCheck paperswithcode's State of the Art leaderboards for the tasks I care about (sound classification, style transfer, etc)

- AussieWog93 4y agoDon't worry about it. Anything that you need to know won't be in the news after a decade or so - it'll be in textbooks.
- mudrockbestgirl 4y agoI found that there isn't that much to keep up with anymore. There have been lots of amazing results, but the techniques have changed little over the past 2-3 years. Usually it's a combination of existing models glued together, huge datasets, smart data processing/augmentation and input transformations, etc. It feels like we're now in the "apply and scale what we know works" phase, which is great. I predict this will continue for a while as people figure out how far we can push the current approaches. This feels different from 3+ years ago. That's when we regularly saw radically different models working better. But there hasn't been a "Transformer moment" or "ResNet moment" or "GAN moment" for quite a while now. In 2014-2018 we had these wow moments every year. Now the wow is not about new developments but more like "wow, I didn't expect this to work so well with more data"
- p1esk 4y agoThis year it definitely feels like a “diffusion moment”.

- mbrodersen 4y agoDon’t worry about it unless you are joining one of the hundreds of hyped AI startups that will go broke the moment they run out of VC money.
- p1esk 4y agoWhy do you need to keep up with it? Asking as someone who’s paid to keep up with it.
