cho-uc18861yWait until you graduate and start working, you'll get even more disappointed.
Most jobs are just glorified CRUD, if you're lucky you can get a bit creative with excel/pdf/powerpoint. The amount of corporate BS you'll have to deal though is in another level..
Don't get too attached with your idealism. -
dmonkey21951y@jestdotty it's all vector products, loss function computation and minimization. Very basic calculus concepts and a fuckton of computational power.

@dmonkey Well yeah... When you boil it down to math that's kinda how everything works. Our brain is technically also "just" a collection of chemical and electrical reactions, and any object of interesting properties is "just" a collection of electrons protons and neutrons. Everything in science is like that, small simple patterns in micro can somehow create big complex structures in macro. So don't be discouraged, it's just as much magic as before. You could argue this makes it more magic, in the sense that:
How can something so simple can become so complex when there's a lot of the same thing????
I'd say it's fabulous. How does changing the amount of protons by ONE do you change something that's liqud in room temp, and "trash" and common into solid rare treasure? That's the magic.
After a year in cloud I decided to start a master's degree in AI and Robotics. Happy as fuck.
Yet I got really disappointed by ML and NNs. It's like I got told the magician's trick and now the magic is ruined.
Still interesting though.
