Attention isn't (topologically) attentive enough. All these RNN-lite approaches are doomed, beyond saving costs, they're going to get cooked by some other arch—even more expensive than transformers.

I think mathematicians can be odd, but usually they communicate quite well. I think as far as popularization of their fields go, mathematics is probably doing the best out of the lot: numberphile, 3blue1brown etc.

A lot of tech bro hubris/idiocy.
