I propose that we adopt the term "Large Self-Supervised Models (LSSMs)" as a replacement for "Foundation Models" and "LLMs". "LLMs" don't capture non-linguistic data and "Foundation Models" is too grandiose. Thoughts? @percyliang

@tdietterich @percyliang I find "ViT" pretty ok. So, instead of LLM, maybe LaT (Language Transformer) would have been a better term in hindsight. I think the L in LLM is too ambiguous. But yeah, Foundation Model is the worst and way to hype-y. Mark my words -- I won't use it in any professional articles
@rasbt @giffmana @tdietterich @percyliang I agree except the upper/lower case is weird and hard to write. Just make it one or the other lol
