This is extremely cool, seriously. Like, with all of this, in an abstract sense and in my imagination, I can kind of picture it, visualize it, or at least try to wrap my head around it.
But I literally don’t understand any of this at all, seriously.
I know how insanely complex this whole process is — compared to literally everything else, really.
And how many opportunities it opens up.
That’s exactly why, whether I like it or not, I’m learning AI hands-on, in practice.
I think all of this actually doesn’t impress me that much yet… only for now.
In any case, like it or not, I’m mastering it and using it so that in 10 years I won’t be left behind on all these major trends.
I sometimes think maybe I’m just not smart enough for all this stuff.
But it’s still really cool to watch it all happen, and overall, to see and interact with genuinely smart people.
You know, in practice, if we step away from all the numbers and analogies — which honestly might not even be real arguments for anything anyway.
To reach that actual, deep understanding and awareness. Like when you don’t just learn something, but you genuinely get it, you internalize it.
I don’t have that with AI and the entire industry — data centers, processors, GPUs, and everything else.
I don’t truly understand a huge number of basic things connected to it.
I’m basically just learning it like a dog learning commands, lol.
Personally, I don’t understand a massive amount of stuff related to all this.
I know the complexity, I know the process, and I probably understand maybe 10% at best — the technical side of 3-nanometer chips, how the actual concept of AI works.
But when it comes to these new neurons that can process information — literal, real biological neurons, damn — human neurons that they transplant into mice… I don’t get it at all.
I don’t understand this the way I understand a small number of other things.
I’m talking about that basic, fundamental level of understanding — like when you look at the blue sky and you just know it’s blue. No effort.
Something intuitive, not rational, not through analogies or numbers.
Really smart people understand this stuff intuitively.
There are many things a person just knows on an intuitive level.
Even if I spent 10 years trying to understand something, I still wouldn’t come close to someone who grasped it intuitively in just a couple of weeks.
Anyway, I'm off to sleep. I overthink way too much about the things.
P.s
By the way, I'm sure I said a lot of controversial things.
But seriously, I'm convinced that many things — especially at a deep level — simply cannot be taught. At best, you can only get somewhere very close to true understanding.
I think the greatest breakthroughs that moved progress forward usually came from people who had a kind of intuitive, almost innate sense of where they were going. They possessed a real concept and deep understanding — not just a formula written down somewhere and memorized, but an actual visualization and genuine comprehension of how that formula worked. I believe this ability is simply given to some people from the start.
No matter how hard you try, if you don't have it on an intuitive level, you'll only remember the formula or something like that, but you won't truly understand it — you won't see it the way you see colors or any physical object.
