This is fantastic.

Highly recommended reading for anyone here interested in the state of AI.

It covers multiple fronts, including research, applications, politics, and safety.

Thank you for sharing this on HN!

Worth keeping in mind this is made by a "AI investor", so obviously comes with a lot of bias. It's also a relatively tiny survey, seems only 1.2K people answered.

An example of the bias:

> shows that 95% of professionals now use AI at work or home

Obviously 95% of professionals don't use AI at work or home, and these results are heavily skewed.

In my circles it is obviously 100%.

Okay I do toy with local image generation when I get extremely bored...

But other than that only AI use is when google forces it on me. And then gets things wrong... Which is easily found out by comparing it's output and synopsis on the links it give...

I'll pass

good to know on the front page though, thanks

Yeah, even without taking that into account, the bias is obvious and extreme.

Did you read Backblaze drive stats reports such as [1]? Who do you think prepare them?

AI investors have vast interest in staying on top of what’s going on. It’s wise to follow them. Everyone is biased, including you and myself.

Quite a comprehensive report. But things look too rosy when the phenomenon is at the peak of hype cycle. So I was curious to see what the Predictions tab has to say. It has disappointed me with the "current-state" news again, not really any predictions.

Opening with is the most widely read and trusted analysis of key developments in AI.

Automatic and instant reject.

Meta observation: this has to be the third most hated rally I have seen, only topped by Tesla and EVs in 2020 and crude oil in 2007

When one's job is potentially on the line one becomes a Luddite rather quickly.

The state of Ai: perplexity replaced google.

A lot of fair criticisms of the splash page here. But, I'll say the slide deck has a nice comprehensive review of research headlines over the year, at least.

We are reading this report in the best tech circles of IIT Mumbai. E = MC2+ AI

The headline is flawed, nothing that exists today is relatively close to “AI” unfortunately.

The state of AI as an end user is that despite language being its primary tool, AI is a pretty terrible writer

Even the best models write like mediocre fiction writers at best
