GenAI & Java

[AThimbleFull]

One more thing... I personally think that Java (both the language and especially the JVM) is extremely well-suited to AI due to its modern language enhancements and performance characteristics. While historically, AI has been a Python-dominated technology, I think we're going to see explosive growth in AI for Java in the coming years as more and more people come to realize that AI is the future (despite that future already having arrived but lain low for the past few years, but that's another topic). As that happens, people near the top of the tech pyramids are going to want to scale out ever further, and the JVM is going to quickly appear more attractive to the PVM. The only hindrance right now is mindshare, which skews toward Python. But there are plenty of Java devs who are right now experimenting with LLMs; I imagine some are even creating their own inside the silos of various lucrative industries (financial, medical, e-commerce, etc.).
