The Future of AI is Generative not Discriminative 5/26/2021Steve Omohundro
The deep learning AI revolution has been sweeping the world for a decade now. Deep neural nets are routinely used for tasks like translation, fraud detection, and image classification. PwC estimates that they will create $15.7 trillion/year of value by 2030. But most current networks are "discriminative" in that they directly map inputs to predictions. This type of model requires lots of training examples, doesn't generalize well outside of its training set, creates inscrutable representations, is subject to adversarial examples, and makes knowledge transfer difficult. People, in contrast, can learn from just a few examples, generalize far beyond their experience, and can easily transfer and reuse knowledge. In recent years, new kinds of "generative" AI models have begun to exhibit these desirable human characteristics. They represent the causal generative processes by which the data is created and can be compositional, compact, and directly interpretable. Generative AI systems that assist people can model their needs and desires and interact with empathy. Their adaptability to changing circumstances will likely be required by rapidly changing AI-driven business and social systems. Generative AI will be the engine of future AI innovation.

In this blog, we will explore this topic, discussing the evolving dynamics of the industry, especially regarding job opportunities, and suggest measures to stay pertinent in this changing landscape.
The Surge of No-Code Tools and AI
A primary argument supporting the demise of web development is the rise of no-code tools and AI. Creating a website has become simpler than ever, thanks to these tools. Remarkably, AI can now fabricate websites surpassing the quality of those created by most humans in a matter of days. This poses a challenge to web developers who fear their skills might become obsolete.
AI is consistently advancing, and we can anticipate even more sophisticated AI systems in the coming months. These systems will comprehend website descriptions and generate code accordingly. This trend is evident in educational settings, where students grasp intricate concepts like the single-threaded and asynchronous nature of JavaScript more swiftly than before.
Moreover, tech awareness is growing in countries like India. Engineering degrees no longer guarantee jobs, and more individuals are venturing into coding. With AI as a new competitor, it’s vital to possess strong fundamentals to stand out.
The Significance of Fundamentals and First Principles Thinking
While anyone can code, a robust foundation in fundamentals distinguishes developers. In the face of AI-powered coding, those with solid fundamentals can effectively use AI as a tool instead of relying on it entirely.
A personal anecdote shared by the author underscores the importance of fundamentals. Delegating a task to a colleague who used AI to write code resulted in a production breakdown due to a lack of understanding of certain fundamentals. The author, armed with strong fundamentals, quickly identified and rectified the issue.

As Web3 progressively integrates into mainstream usage, machine learning is positioned to play a pivotal role in advancing AI-centric Web3 technologies.
However, the infusion of AI in Web3 comes with its set of technical challenges and impediments. To unlock the full potential of AI within Web3, it is imperative to identify and surmount the obstacles hindering this convergence. Historically, centralization has been intrinsic to AI solutions, but as we navigate the decentralized realm of Web3, a critical question arises: How can AI adapt and thrive in this novel landscape, shedding its conventional centralization tendencies?
This article embarks on an exploratory journey, delving into the intricacies of the role of AI in Web3 ecosystem. It will discuss the challenges and opportunities on the horizon, shedding light on the complexities involved in the integration of AI with Web3 technologies.
Web 3.0, the upcoming third generation of the internet, will allow websites and apps to process information in intelligently, human-like manner with technologies.
The coming generative AI trends of 2024.pdfSoluLab1231
Generative AI, short for Generative Artificial Intelligence, is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence that focuses on developing algorithms and models capable of generating new, original content. Unlike traditional AI systems that are rule-based and task-specific, generative AI possesses the ability to autonomously produce content, ranging from text and images to audio and video.
At the heart of generative AI are advanced machine learning techniques, particularly deep learning. Generative models, a category of models within the realm of generative AI, are designed to understand and replicate patterns in data, allowing them to create output that closely resembles human-generated content.
Generative AI systems learn from vast datasets to understand the underlying structures and features present in the data. Once trained, these systems can generate new content by extrapolating from the patterns they’ve learned. This capability is particularly powerful in tasks such as image synthesis, text generation, and even the creation of multimedia content.
Despite the fact that the Web3 developer ecosystem is a small part of the greater online developer ecosystem, it appears to be rapidly increasing, so it makes sense to try to figure out what makes up the Web3 tech stack. This is the main reason why companies have started investing their time in it. As a result of which various Web3 Development Company
have emerged as per the changing trends in the market.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
