I'm actually working in open source 😂 It's hard to find long term AI projects nowadays at least in my field, it's all short term stuff like one-off custom apps, training courses, consulting and the like.

Yeah, lots of good points for both big and small players in the AI field. The post also touched on how making AI 'apps' appears promising at first, but is ridiculously hard to sustain as a business.

"两年前， ChatGPT诞生的时候，做AI应用的中小公司都很乐观，觉得好像好多应用场景，好多产品都可以做。但事实是，做出来的产品基本都是鸡肋，好像有点用，但用户又不会持续用。"

Like, it's easy to pull off a fancy demo, and you can build actual AI products on top. But users can switch providers just as easily, so you have to keep spinning up new services to sell.

Presenting my AGU24 poster this Tuesday afternoon - GC23A-0229: Choosing Earth Foundation Models: From research grade to community maintained. Come have a chat about how we can make Foundation Models for Earth Observation / Geospatial data more practical for different use-cases!
