Also, holy sh*t. I literally just went back and read your 1st post. You work at google brain? That is so badass. I would love to hear about what your personal experience working at that level in the industry has been like and how you worked to get yourself there.

Is it as exciting and inspiring as it seems?

The reason I want to move into ML is that I just have endless questions and ideas about potential applications, but little understanding about its current limitations. I want to be able to understand it from the ground up so I can actually start helping apply it to real world problems and my own personal areas of interest. Like, I want to know how far you can push generative design and Architecture. Can we use AI/ML techniques to generate architecturally-significant, site-specific, environmentally sustainable, psychologically-positive, life-enriching housing that is uniquely optimized to an individuals needs, budget, and location? Like, there has to be a way to cut the median cost of a US family home by 10x while still doing all of these things. I refuse to believe that the god awful new-built homes being sold for ~$200k in South Dakota where I live are the best we can do at this time... Case in point lol. All dreams, no concrete knowledge of limitations to build a foundation on.
