New comment by reqo in "How I use LLMs to learn complex topics"

Something that I have realized recently is that it has become so easy to get an answer to almost any question with the help of chatbots that its almost unnecessary to spend any effort thinking about the problem or the solution. I feel like before when I had to spend time researching a problem to find an answer I learned so many things around the topic itself which helped me understand the problem itself better and gained a deeper understanding. Today it feels like you can have an answer to the most complex questions you might have, yet you gain a superficial understanding of the topic and might forget about it quickly.

IME this works until it does not. This approach works well at the beginning of a greenfield project, but at the same time because it is so easy to add features, you will likely ship something that is way too over engineered. And that complexity will not amortize over next increments and will more likely lead to the entire project being a black box only fully understood by AI. However a more careful use of AI for targeted surgical changes is far more ”productive” in the long term IMO.

One advantage that I see in models that are implemented as code is that they can quickly and cheaply be modified using LoRAs. What would the equivalent be in hardware? Another piece of hardware you would attach like adding a graphics card to a computer?

ML engineers, what does your production ML pipeline look like? Describe your stack for data ingestion/validation, orchestration (e.g., Airflow/Kubeflow), training/experiment tracking, feature store, serving, and monitoring/retraining.
