Not only whispr, so much of the computer vision area is not as in vogue. I suspect because the truly monumental solutions unlocked are not that accessible to the average person; i.e. industrial manufacturing and robotics at scale.


I think that LLM hype is hiding a lot of very real and impactful progress in real world/robot intelligence.

An essay writing machine is cool. A machine that can competently control any robot arm, and make it immediately useful is a world-changing prospect.

Moving and manipulating objects without explicit human coded instructions will absolutely revolutionize so much of our world.


That's because industrial manufacturing and robotics are failing to bring down costs and make people's lives more affordable.

That's really the only value those technologies provide, so if people aren't seeing costs come down there really is zero value coming from those technologies.
