Totally. While the LLM:s today are amazing it is a bit sad that you can’t build SOTA models on your own (vs a few years ago where someone with the skills and access to a dataset could build a state of art models)

In the grand scheme of things, we've only had about a quarter century where you needed a *very* specific kind of problem where prosumer hardware wasn't adequate across computer science as a whole.

It's kind of amazing we got that at all for a while.
