You'll need to be strict with your definition of 'regular', as the offers from companies you really don't want them working for will flood in.

Fab job, did spark one question though, Re: face labeling, are you trying to to get a model to identify specific individuals of a species?

You used AI to build a spambot?

How does what you've described solve the coffee/espresso problem? You can't query SQL such that records like 'espresso' return coffee?

Just to be clear, are you looking for a provider to process these requests on your behalf for 3rd parties or are you wanting to ask Claude to process your Erasure request to Calude's owner Anthropic, for example?

Figure out how AI can help the blind and the deaf. Take up ceramics. Write a travel book. Tinker with low-cost robotics. Volunteer for some environmental restoration project - the riverbank ones seem interesting.

Most - if not all - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruning_(artificial_neural_n... methods use a form of FEA.

We have several processes which involve the upload of multiple different images, which the user is walked through with baby steps, I.e. 'take this exact picture of the asset' -> take the next, etc. Etc.

We're currently working on an image classification model to automatically tag these images with what they are and just providing a visual sample gallery of 'take these pictures' with the sample image border turning green when that type of image is identified. We expect this will reduce a multi-step error prone process with a more streamline experience.

Can you make me some paperclips?

You probably don't want to hear this but that problem doesn’t require AI to solve. We've had asset tags and QR codes for decades and won't require re-training if a new equipment manufacturer comes into play.

The most modern idea seems to be a Dyson swarm, which is not solid and consists of solar panels and habitats orbiting at a comfortable distance. Power is relayed using microwave transmitters and receivers and conceptually a large portion would be fed into particle accelerators for the manufacture of Anti-Matter on industrial scale.

There doesn't seem to be any definitive data on the subject but I've had good success with [Context] + [Supplemental Information] + [Intent / Use of result] + [Format you would like the result in]

If that Elementary episode is anything to go by, you join a government agency and your work becomes classified.

Human reviewers?

Often it'll be a case of "hey this table is actually searchable now" or "that page is now split into two" or "I removed a tonne of deprecated code"

Ah, how does that gel with regression testing? We've tried something similar but got swamped by the need to test those code changes and the testers got upset being lumped with additional work while the rest of the team got to play with whatever they liked. Did you forgo testing for the sake of morale or did you come up with another solution?

See that roadmap you mentioned, use that. There will be a definite feature list with each version number if the stakeholders want to drill down into it, just give the next version number and the current date its expected on.

Our ability to think won't become useless, it becomes equal to the expense to host and train the system taking over it.

90 seconds to midnight on the Doomsday Clock

I'm a big fan of https://kivy.org/ it looks modern and has a wide range of components.

Don't bother. If they've accepted non-man-made climate change liken the situation to being in a locked room that is on fire. Are you going to just sit there and burn because you specifically didn't light the fire? Or will you try to find a fire extinguisher.

Control Theory but just for kicks

I think I read somewhere it was only 48 hours - can you hold on that long?

How to work as part of a team - all the bootcamp candidates that've come to us only did solo projects.

How to read documentation - I know its not an easy skill to teach but so many of them will ask how to do something rather than investigate the docs themselves.

Pros and cons of different approaches, a lot of candidates seem to think there's only 1 way to accomplish something - usually because that's the way they were taught.

ML training is iterative and non-parallelizable so breaking it up into distributable units of work would not provide any benefits and would actually slow down learning.

See The Chinese Room Argument for more information.

No experience with AI systems or no experience with the technology sector in general?

Do your own psychology homework.

If you pick up any book by Greg Bear, there's a good chance it's won an award, just make sure it isn't a sequel of a previous work of his.
