Had to reread this a few times to properly parse what the hypothetical was. My first read was "if you could redo your life from age 17 what would you do". To which "figure out how to make an LLM" would be an insane answer. I think his advice here is maybe... a year or two too late to be good advice. I can't foresee the job market for machine learning experts being better than it is now in 5-6 years time when said hypothetical 17 year old would be most ready to start career hunting. Either the bubble is gonna pop and the market will be flooded with laid off AI talent. Even if I'm wrong about there being a bubble at all, I still think that in 5 years time the tech will just have matured to the point of diminishing returns on refining existing architectures. Plateauing until some PHD comes up with something as ground breaking as attention.
