Good Will Hunting Paradox Perfectly Roasts the ML Hype Cycle, From CNNs to MoE
zack_overflow · x · 2026-10-07
A Good Will Hunting-style copypasta roasts the ML newbie hype cycle: read Attention Is All You Need and Karpathy, and everything is transformers and scaling laws; discover convolutions next month and it's inductive biases; read FlashAttention and suddenly it's IO complexity and SRAM, FLOPs don't matter; see an MoE and you're regurgitating DeepSeek on expert parallelism. The quoted post is a Ben Affleck interview where he says he writes Python, understands CNNs, worked with GPUs, and used his celebrity to get private looks at Google and OpenAI's video models.
