Want to upgrade my skills and break into AI (as an IC or EM) in the next couple months. Can you please suggest me a study plan, courses, workshops etc? I am an absolute beginner to AI. If possible, please do share your journey of such transition (if any). Additional Details: After being laid off, I realized I haven't upskilled much in years. All I know is Java, Spring, Python tech-stacks, Cassandra, Kafka, ES and a bunch of big data stuff. #ai #ml #google #meta #amazon #openai #bard #chatgpt
if you have big data experience, can you find an adjacent team at Amazon doing AI stuff?
laid off, from amazon.
Lol, get a phd. No shortcut
lol the wave will pass meanwhile
This is the answer I see 99% of the time. 1% of the time, I see suggested, "just do what that guy with 2 bachelor's degrees did. Buy 20 GPU in your garage, and train DALL-E model from scratch, then go work at open ai" Hmm yea those both seem pretty fucking difficult. At this time I would have my kid do a PhD because a new student has no other safe option with the timeline being so uncertain. Not saying it should be easy, but all the AI hype on Twitter makes it seem like there's a 3rd get rich quick shortcut. Anyone know it?
Define AI? Easiest way to work close to ML/AI is to find a company or team working on ML projects, but as a regular infra, DevOps, data, or backend engineer. That way you get to work directly with DS/ML teams, learn what they need, and pick up useful domain knowledge. Plenty of companies in ML space looking for generic engineers with interest or hobby-level experience in ML. If you want to develop models yourself then easiest way is PhD ☝️
Please don’t start ‘breaking into’ AI like you guys broke into software engineering and made a mincemeat of it. Let the experts work ffs
go home kid, we will manage.
It's not rocket science @nothapp .. it takes 6 months to learn and execute anything with a dedicated plan ... so chill ! Thats what op is asking . if u can't help don't discourage
Just FYI all the ML and AI job posts also have 1500 prior applicants by the time you get to them
