It's interesting because if you're into computers it's more accessible than ever and there are more things you can mess with more cheaply than ever. I mean we have some real science fiction stuff going on. At the same time it's probably different for the newer generations. Computers were magical to me and a lot of that was because they were rare. Now they are everywhere, they are just a backdrop to everything else going on.
I agree, I remember when the feed forward NN were the shit! And now the LLMs are owning, I think this adoption pattern will start pulling a lot of innovations on other computer science fields. Networking, for example. But the ability to have that peer programer next to you makes it so much more fun to build, when before you had to spend a whole day debugging something, Claude now just helps you out and gives you time to build. Feels like long roadtrips with cruise control and lane keeping assist!
