hi there.

on 2016-11-07 i was inspired to create this pair of diagrams, and posted them to my then twitter account. the tweet is long gone, but they must have struck a chord with some people, because the diagrams have long outlived it! i guess they're as relevant today as they were then.

so let me repost them here, in never-before-published high resolution.

if you care about copyright, you can attribute these with:

and ideally, please link to this post's canonical url (begins with social.noyu.me), but i don't care that much

i can't believe this was really from the year 6 B.C.G. (Before ChatGPT), god
@hikari absolute love the mutation of the iceberg meme there
@eater oh, I wonder if that was what inspired it. I'd probably seen that famous fake (photoshopped) photo of an iceberg. I'm not sure if the meme based on it existed at that point however
@hikari the meme has been a thing since 2012!
@eater ah yeah i think i've seen a really old version of it before
@hikari iirc there was like a REAALLLLY long Tumblr one
@hikari those were great! I remember getting annoyed by not finding them anymore!
@hikari With DNNs I'd say they're even more infallible โ€‹โ€‹
@hikari
Itโ€™s the โ€œ0 km โ€ฆ 1 kmโ€ that really clinches that second one
@hikari oh! I had no idea! Pretty sure iโ€™ve used them in intro to ML lecture slides!

@hikari Hello, I find your model here useful, but as the diagrams are from way back in 2016, I decided to augment them with a third diagram, showing today's state of the art technology, "AI".

As this is a derivative work, I note the license, ยฉ 2016 hikari_no_yume, CC BY 4.0 (International) , still applies.

@hikari I remember seeing those as some point! nice :D
@hikari 2016?? talk about ahead of its time

@hikari Iโ€™m reminded of MTAAโ€™s simple net art diagram from 1997 http://anthology.rhizome.org/simple-net-art-diagram
