If you don't shamelessly promote your work, every day for the next 10-20 years, you will get stuck doing someone else's work until you realize that nobody is going to pay you if they have no idea who you are.
Learning comes from struggle, not memorization.
Start the project. No, don't watch 20 tutorials beforehand. Let it expose the gaps in your knowledge. Try to figure it out. Search for the answer when your mind is most likely to remember it.
Publish the project. Repeat for life.
That a bunch of Chinese hobbyists could release an AI that is more competent than American models, more cost efficient, has 3% of the environmental impact, and can pretty much run on a Raspberry Pi and is... open source, should not be shocking to the West.
There's room to be skeptical of course, but one should also take this seriously. I've said time and time again that people grossly misunderstand that "the Chinese can't innovate because they lack freedoms."
Not only have they invested more in AI, they are also far more focused. Imagine what you can do when you don't have to worry about relitigating your history or canceling engineers because they put out internal memos accurately describing why evolutionary psychology explains varying outcomes between men and women?
The arrogance of the West is similar to China's hubris during the Ming Dynasty when the "Middle Kingdom Syndrome" gave it the illusion that Chinese civilization was superior to the rest of the world, and that it did not need to learn anything from it. China has since learned from that. It takes the best from the West and adapts it for its own purposes.
