As a fellow old person, the way I think about it is that every time I have a thought like that it's because the neural networks inside my head have stopped being updated and are resulting in wildly outdated pattern matching. "So this car thing is just like a horse but this time with circular legs? Nothing new under the sun, I swear".
- noduerme 3y agoNah. It really isn't new. Some of the neologisms take a moment to understand, but they all refer to the same ideas. "Inference" is when you show it stuff and it shows you results. "Tokens" are the matrix of bitmaps or whatever you show it, turned into a "vector" which is a set of bleeps and boops like what you send over a modem. "transformers" are just squeezing and scaling your tokens. It's fucking bog simple, stupid script kiddie shit. Inferring it or getting the inference to do what you want, anyway. Or whatever these, uh, "data scientists" with an online certificate actually do. Apparently, sit there and write plain English at a billion-dollar cluster and wait for astonishing answers at 300bps.
