Did you create an account, just to ask this question?

I don't think neither CV nor NLP is going away. CV is yet to be solved to the same extent as NLP, but I agree it might just be a matter of time.

Research wise, there are still tons of problems around uncertainty, complexity, causality, 'real-world' problem solving (domain adaptation) and so forth.

Just don't compete on having the largest cluster of GPUs.

I find it quite ridiculous to discount RL. Optimal control problems have existed since the beginning of time, and for the situations in which you cannot formulate a set of differential equations, optimizing obtuse functions with value or policy optimization could be a way forward.

It reminds me of the people who discount GANs due to their lack of a likelihood. Sure, but can it be useful regardless? Yes, actually, it can.

Yes, indeed. While the lightbulb may contain properties which may or may not exhibit the Quantum Tunnel Effect (QTE), one must take great care not to confuse this with the Superposition Lightspeed Diffraction (SDL), as it is of paramount importance, that we do not make light of such phenomena - Essentially making all of humanity into sub-particle atoms in the progress towards enlightenment.

This reads like some of those posts criticising OS-frameworks that don't always behave intuitively.

While I don't disagree that there are bugs, Hugging Face is doing more for Open ML than many large tech companies are doing.

HuggingFace, FastAI and similar frameworks are designed to lower the barrier to ML, such that any person with programming skills can harness the power of SoTA ML progress.

I think that's a great mission tbh, even if there are some inevitable bumps on the road.

Certainly, one hundred per cent agree, if I understand you correctly.

Don't know about human entitlement, but from a simple time/energy-limitation perspective:

  • The more time and energy you have in surplus, the more you're able to achieve. Like what is stopping human kind from populating the universe?

I'm sure time and energy is some of the reasons.

History has shown what happens at technological breaking points. Yes, you may not want to earn a living as a horse carriage chauffeur, however, there are opportunity to become a car chauffeur.

I think your premise is wrong, it’s not about replacement, it’s about evolution.

It’s not about ‘threatening’ jobs, but improving certain aspects of it.

I continue working on that long backlog of things I'd like to implement:

  • Additional models (change of encoder/decoder for future runs)
  • Additional loss parameterisations (because you can never get enough)
  • Additional dataloaders for the inclusion of more datasets (because without killing penguins, no paper)
  • Additional bug-squashing/re-factoring which I've put off using TODOs as comments odd places in my code
