If you consider LLMs as the iPod of ML, what would the iPhone equivalent be?
- christianqchung 2y agoI'd rather consider the current generation of LLMs as the first iPhone (or maybe flip phone, depends on where you stand), given that hundreds of billions of dollars in private money is already going into developing them.

Possibly integrated into lightweight comfortable AR glasses via Wifi so they can see everything you can, optionally automatically receiving context such as frame captures. Optionally with a very realistic 3d avatar "teleported" into your space.

- bamboozled 2y agoThat is your opinion I guess, have a nice day.

A virtual assistant that can search the web for you, write/proofread an essay, analyse social situations, and enrich the right bits of your personal information for you. Basically a smart assistant integrated into a vr headset.
