The AI bubble will pop soon enough but this piece is surprisingly hopeful about what will emerge from the rubble — LLMs to help us write code faster or translate dialog on the fly, all the things I consider to be AI assistants.
One unsung hero right now is HuggingFace who are working hard to foster open source models so that everyone has access and everyone can run LLMs on laptops, not in massive data centers, not controlled by one of 3 corporations.
