Why do you even need to understand everything? FOMO?
Either you work on fairly general topics, or more generally applicable things, and then you don’t need to read a bazillion papers that propose yet another flavour of attention.
Or you work on something more specific within one domain, e.g. NLP, and then you don’t need to know the details of e.g. image generation that you brought up.
Pro-tip: high level understanding of the field as a whole, and solid understanding of your specific niche is what you’re after.
