It's time to become an ML engineer

AI has recently crossed a utility threshold, where cutting-edge models such as GPT-3, Codex, and DALL-E 2 are actually useful and can perform tasks computers cannot do any other way. The act of producing these models is an exploration of a new... | Greg Brockman | Svbtle

And perhaps most exciting is the underlying mechanism by which it’s advancing — at OpenAI, and the field generally, precision execution on large-scale models is a force multiplier on AI progress, and we need more people with strong software skills who can deliver these systems. The engineers who make the leap successfully are happy to be wrong (since it means they learned something), aren’t afraid not to know something, and don’t push solutions that others resist until they’ve gathered enough intuition to know for sure that it matches the domain. I believe that AI research is today by far the most impactful place for engineers who want to build useful systems to be working, and I expect this statement to become only more true as progress continues.
