Well, yes, plus the 20 years of training needed to understand them. But still worth a read i think.

[–]thatmfisnotreal 8 points9 points  (1 child)

4-6 solid years of effort and you’re good

Teach me

[–]PsychologicalAct6813 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's truly gobsmacking the latent hubris in this field, of all.

[–]Monarc73 12 points13 points  (12 children)

How useful is any of this though? Will I now be a haxor?

[–]GirlNumber20 13 points14 points  (6 children)

Not just a haxor but a 1337 h4x0r.

[–]GYN-k4H-Q3z-75B 11 points12 points  (3 children)

Once you understand it all, you may finally call yourself a prompt engineer on LinkedIn and be one of the cool guys.

[–]GirlNumber20 16 points17 points  (2 children)

I don’t like to brag, but I know a lot about this stuff because I’m dating a model. A language model. 💅🏻

[–]GYN-k4H-Q3z-75B 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CEO of Bumble approves. You're avantgarde.

[–]Otherkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahahaha. Me tooo~! I'll have to remember that one!

This guy pwns

[–]vampyre2000 2 points3 points  (2 children)

You need to ensure you wear a black hoodie with the hood over your head and ensure the lights in the room are off when you are using your computer. Bonus points if you wear a mask at the same time. That would make you a 1337 h4x0r. Hack the Planet. Hack the Gibson.

Save the cheerleader, save the world

It's saddening to see everyone stuck in an industrialist education mindset. What you know does not define what you can do any more. What you want to do defines what you can do. The sooner anyone accepts this the better for them. We have created the first technology in history that empowers self efficacy. You don't need to be bright, you just have to be willing. The AI is bright for you.

[–]Metworld 5 points6 points  (1 child)

For learning about neural networks maybe, but there is so much more to AI and ML which is completely missed by this, not including all the prerequisites required to even understand those 30 papers.

[–]cunningjames 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I find the list kind of baffling as “90% of what you need to know”. They’re good papers to read, but some of it’s out of date and there’s way more to the field. You could read all these papers and still not understand the architecture of modern LLMs, let alone AI/ML generally.

[–]Original_Finding2212 4 points5 points  (2 children)

There are less than 30 documents (26 + 1 course) there and last one is a link to a course?

What’s the source?

[–]steves1189[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It was from X, I followed the source down to multiple people who were tagging John Carmack. It’s not a paid course is it? You don’t have to sign up for anything?

[–]Effective_Rabbit6325 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So no source?

[–]phovos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

did you just send me a whole browser full of tab?

That is utterly evil.. and brilliant.

Gah! I have enough of MY OWN tabs, you clever bastards!

[–]Alternative_Log3012 4 points5 points  (5 children)

I think it’s more like 29 documents actually…

[–]Equivalent_Seesaw_51 2 points3 points  (1 child)

You forget Q*

[–]Alternative_Log3012 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NeverForget

[–]steves1189[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

My bad.

[–]Alternative_Log3012 1 point2 points  (1 child)

We all make mistakes

[–]Nxt1tothree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all have those days

[–]Background-Fill-51 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Oh I just have to read 30 academic papers that I don’t understand to be up to date… can anyone single out an easy/entertaining one? Excuse my laziness

[–]Particular_Focus_576 2 points3 points  (1 child)

This one is useful. The trick is to refuse to move forward without understanding the paper. Stop and converse with a model till the light turns on. It may take a few hours. After though, you will be enlightened. After 4-5 papers, you'll be in a new zone. You won't be an AI research scientist, but you will be very informed relative to most.

Could be best to start with transformer architecture. The models taught me most of what I know. They can be very effective teachers, when properly prompted. I do a lot of 'so if I understand this correctly, this is how I am envisioning x, y, z'. Most of the time you hear politely... 'Sortof.' iterate off that. Ask for real world examples. Read another paper. At some point... I began to be able to parse any paper, at least as a layman. It took a long time. Dense but usually extremely well written.

Thank you so much 🥳

[–]Realistic-Duck-922 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear Carmack is interested. He seems cool. I appreciated his honesty with VR instead of just hyping junk. AI seems a good fit for him. Id love to hear him discuss his plans.

[–]roastedantlers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The shadows on those fonts in dark mode.

[–]fractaldesigner[🍰] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

any one book that summarizes it?

[–]Delta9SA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One book to summarize it all..

[–]torb 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Get gpt to summarize it in one short bullet point list.

[–]gbbenner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, but this is good advice lol.

[–]lhx555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shall we dub it Sutskever’s 30?

[–]zascar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone give us an easy to understand summary of the key points and of each paper in one document please? That would be swell.

    Feed that to a strong model

    [–]save_china_uyghurs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Read these and you will hate Altman. 

    [–]PsychologicalAct6813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    So you're saying I should mash these into a vector database and make that my sidekick?

    [–]RogueStargun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    He told Carmack this 3 years ago though...

    [–]Azimn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Can I feed all of these into Claude?

    [–]ejpusa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    This is why organic chemist, DNA guy has it down. All the math can be translated into molecular biology scenarios.

    Little math, more visualization of LLM at work.
