Intel has revealed two sets of extensions coming to the x86 instruction set architecture, one to boost the performance of general purpose code and the second to provide a common vector instruction set for future chips. So they know the direction they're going?

I thought Intel made noise a couple of months ago about reducing the x86 (32 bit) portion of their processors.

In an unprecedented move, a research team at the University of Oxford has successfully trained a machine learning model aboard a satellite in outer space "Across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us."

Transformers: the Google scientists who pioneered an AI revolution
Their paper paved the way for the rise of large language models. But all have since left the Silicon Valley giant
Like many breakthroughs in scientific discovery, the one that spurred an artificial intelligence revolution came from a moment of serendipity.
In early 2017, two Google research scientists, Ashish Vaswani and Jakob Uszkoreit, were in a hallway of the search giant’s Mountain View campus, discussing a new idea for how to improve machine translation, the AI technology behind Google Translate.
The AI researchers had been working with another colleague, Illia Polosukhin, on a concept they called “self-attention” that could radically speed up and augment how computers understand language.

In my study days, around 1980, I bought a book with the title "Machines who think". (It has since become sort of a classic.)
If we presented young people of today with what we had 45-50 years ago, out expectations then and how it ended up, I guess that they would considerably cool down.
25 years after I completed my studies, at the bi-annual student festival at my alma mater, I gave a presentation of the visions we had as students back then, and related them to the current state of the art. True enough: We have more colors on the screen. More dots. The waiting time for a compilation has gone down. But these are not principal advancements. All the "revolutions" that we expected within a few years are still future revolutions. (Even today, 15 years later, they still are.)
In a few years, I expect the current 'AI' wave to be similar to 'more colors, more dots'. Sure, there is an improvement, but a gradual one. Not earth shaking. This wave will be similar to the numerous previous waves, leading to an expanded set of commonly recognized algorithms for extracting information from large data structure.

imho, if you cull out the people surveyed who tend to be too impressed by tech innovation ... and survey those who are reluctant to extrapolate game-changing implications ...
you may see a different picture.
i heard distant thunder as the first Chat/GPT demos and facilities rolled in ... now, that i get hands-on with seeing what it can do in terms of code-gen in actual code development ...
i am convinced it has an important future; one that is still to be realized.
i am ready to say: "increasing my skills (prompting ?) in describing what i want in code" is worth investing in.
YMMV !

yesterday (or maybe two days ago) I read another article on this topic, and it was giving a serie of totally different tips. Some of them just were the opposite, specially in format and layout.
