Brady: ML apps require distributed systems engineering skills from day one
“The kind of person that is deep in the guts of some kind of distributed systems, really high, high scale backend kind of a problem would probably naturally have these kinds of skills, but you'll find them on, on day one if you're building a, you know, an ML po…”

Swyx: AI field will invert from research-heavy to engineering-heavy
“I think the AI world, the ML world is still very much research heavy. And that's as it should be because ML is very much in a research phase. But as we move this entire field into production, I think that ratio inverts into becoming more engineering heavy.”

McGrath: AI Frontier Is Bottlenecked by Shortage of Hybrid Systems-ML Talent
“I think we're still having trouble not at OpenAI, but I think as a whole, producing lots of people that do lot, want to do lots of both systems work and ML work. And I think if you're trying to push the frontier, you don't know which Place is currently bottlen…”

White: Maximum entropy modeling is the inverse of machine learning
“This theory called maximum entropy. And it's about like, how do you take complex simulations and match them to limited observations? And it's like the inverse of machine learning. Machine learning is like, you have simple models, you're going to a lot of data …”

Kulik: AI for materials is at 'ground zero' on manufacturing processing
“Most people who actually work on
Getting materials to the device scale, say something that would be in your television or something like that, is they will tell you that it's not just the material, it's the process.
And I think we're at ground zero.
We're nowh…”

McPartlon: AI biology problems are solved like standard machine learning problems
“People think you can't work on like AI bio unless you're a biologist, but it's kind of like you can't work on like video models unless you're like a director or something. Like there are all these like super domain specific things like, oh yeah, to understand …”
