I've been feeling FOMO (for lack of a better term) about recent AI & ML/GPT progression.
It feels like ML/AI it might be the beginning of the end for a large class of things (if I wanted to be alarmist I'd say "everything") -- and the fact that Fabrice Bellard has jumped in and done the absolutely obvious rising-tide thing (building an API that abstracts the technologies) speaks volumes.
Releasing something like this fits to Fabrice's pattern of work -- he built Qemu and that served as a similar enabling fabric for people to run virtual machines. QuickJS quietly powers some JS-on-another-platform functionality.
Simon was right. The Stable Diffusion moment[0] is already here. It's going to accelerate. It was already moving at a speed that was hard to follow, and it's about to get even faster.
There are too many world-changing things moving forward at the same time, and I'm only looking at such a small cut of the tech sphere. I don't know what to do with myself, I feel so thoroughly unprepared.
