The case for basic AI research without frontier labs or 10,000-plus GPUs
A poster rejects the idea that important work requires a frontier lab and 10,000-plus GPUs. He says some people he talks to think they should leave AI research because they expect end-to-end research to be automated.
TLDR
The poster calls it false to assume important AI research can happen only in frontier or “neo” labs with 10,000-plus GPUs. He says some people he talks to think they should leave the field because they expect end-to-end research to be automated. He argues that today’s tools, open problems and ability to tackle them make this by far the best time in recent history to do AI research.
