His great instructional videos on YT tell me that he is passionate for both AI and education, so I'm all for him trying to mix the two. More effort on education is always welcome in my book.
- layer8 2y agoTheir first planned product is an online course for building a "Storyteller" LLM, explicitly stating that the course will take some time to build and that there is no timeline on when it will launch [1]. The company page states that their vision merely "feels tractable", and concedes that they might not be successful [2]. There is a lack of arguments regarding how they can bring any substantial advancements over current generative AI tech. At present this all looks rather underwhelming, with a substantial dose of wishful thinking.
