Thing 2 - 2023 reflections

I wrote my predictions for 2023 a year ago. Time to see how it went 😛

Hit: 5/10
Close: 4/10
Miss: 1/10

Considering how out there it all sounded then, it's pretty accurate. Even the "close" and "miss" are just a matter of time (could happen in 2024), not the wrong direction.

  Google and Meta integrated AI into various products

  Significant focus on Generative AI but not as widespread in auto-completion

Thing 3 - 2024 predictions

• GPT-5 drops and becomes the top model, stays undefeated for most of the year (or until GPT-6)
• Open Source GPT-4 Equivalent (equivalent on evals)
• Transformer architecture on-chip starts hitting the market - designated chips for LLM inference
• Humanoid robots become available for purchase - cost as much as a car
• AI agents become publicly/commercially available
• Ads make it to the outputs of large language models
• Informative content (and learning) starts becoming more of an interactive experience than passive consumption (due to LLMs, Bard integration with YouTube, perplexity.ai... and VR/AR)
• Feature film with AI-only content goes viral
• Apple becomes one of the major players in the GenAI space (and AI in general) - I expect them to allow users to run them locally on M3 and M4 chips

What would you add or remove? 😜
