Update: Lots of people are coming to the realization that generative AI has been oversold and is massively under-delivering. So, I’m going to double-down on the anthropological angle for my new book.
- Who are some of the people working on AI technologies, from AI chips to Large Language Models?
- What are the cultural norms that structure the AI community?
- What are the rituals that give meaning to their work?
- What are the strategies of communication used to get this technology built?
- What kind of language is used in this world?
So, a new name for the book: Humans of AI: Understanding the People Behind the Machines.
Remember: it’s not magic; it’s people that make AI function.
