Yes, if you're willing to invest X years into becoming relevant on the AI/ML market, and you believe than in X years there will be still too few AI/ML specialists - then it's a great idea.
- khazhoux 3y agoThere's a huge amount of help needed in AI/ML in non-researcher roles (infrastructure, pipelines, testing, etc). I'd say that the bulk of AI/ML orgs are actually just that, in my experience. (I'd further argue that the number of actual "AI researchers" that actually contribute enough to justify their mega-million comp packages is small indeed... but that's a separate topic)
- robotnikman 3y agoInfrastructure was another area I was thinking of possibly moving into as well, since AI of course still has to rely on that as well.

Don’t bother inventing new models, just get up to speed on what the various vendors are good at and the basic techniques (particularly Agents/ReAct and RAG) and you’ve learned enough. The demand for AI is almost unlimited right now, and it’s definitely not too late. It’s like 2009 in the iPhone dev era; plenty of time to quickly learn ObjC.
