Transition from code to data.
I don't wanna be choosy, but working to make models smarter does feel like digging my own grave
Not at all what I mean. Working with data has nothing to do with models. Models consume data, but so does everything else.
Right now we are drowning in data. With the AI hype, companies now want to retain their data longer, but optimizing the processing and retreival of said data is an essential art that AI is currently very bad at. Data centers are adding processing power to tgeir infrastructure, but IO is still a massive bottle neck.
