AI is “just linear algebra”

Referring to AI models as “just math” or “matrix multiplication” is as uselessly reductive as referring to tigers as “just biology” or “biochemical reactions”

Surviving an Actual Tiger Attack 101:

Remember that tigers are simply made up of atoms and various biochemical reactions. The tiger’s appearance and behavior may be scary, but do not let your fear get the best of you! Decades of research into biology and physics has shown that tigers are actually composed of very small units called atoms, as well as many biochemical reactions such as the Krebs cycle. Things that initially feel scary can often turn out to be harmless upon closer inspection!

• If the tiger attempts to eat you, remember that you yourself are simply composed of atoms, and it is simply attempting to rearrange some of them for you.


I don’t know, for me-and this is probably I’m too much of an engineer-it’s like, what is Al? It’s math. It’s basically elaborations on linear algebra. I have a hard time getting worked up about linear algebra. It’s math. We’ll be able to keep the math under control. I’m not as worried about that.
