I feel uneasy at work. In the past, our company has small teams, each working on a dedicated and small ai component.
In recent years, ai has been becoming powerful, a single large model can cover the functionalities of many small ai models. Meanwhile, developing a large model requires so much resource, the company can only sponsor one or two.
This situation has resulted in fierce internal competition and a great level of politics. On one hand, the boundary between teams has been blurred, we step on each others' toes. On the other hand, we constantly fight for the company sponsorship for more resources.
Turf wars are what you have to face everyday, it is hard to find a unique and safe space.
