I've been trying to find a name or descriptor for people who I think are looking at "AI" broadly and soberly, with a genuinely objective perspective and information that's not captured by the big tech companies but also fluent in the technology behind it. ( @simon would be the exemplar here.) What would you call this cohort? Because I think it's sort of a community without a name, which limits its impact.
@anildash @simon When we were in a somewhat similar situation with the early emergence of cloud computing I think Cloud Native captured it. So maybe AI Native would be useful? It’s neutral on the positive or negative issues but means that someone is immersed in making it work.
@anildash @simon Meanwhile, in a couple of hours from scratch using AI I just built a graph database and populated it with a few years of historical data to act as an MCP data source. It wrote code that worked first time using a Neo4j database I haven’t used for a decade, with just a few prompts from me saying what I wanted it to do. It’s more reliable now than it was a month or two ago.
