What do you think of the current wave of agents spawning off - given that reasoning still needs a lot of grounding? With the probabilistic models at hands, adding reasoning and planning in some sense falls back to traditional software and s

Why do we have not so many great individual players anymore but great teams? Is our rate of progress and build slowing down? Can the brilliance of an individual overshadow big tech? Why did we have the best quarter in growth for public comp

I am 100% in agreement here. A lot of the shady practices thrown around by agency operators in the name of getting you leads, and showing you busy work. Social, SEO, PR, all are the same. Everyone promises a bunch of future results and char

Is this zapier integrated with LLM's or how do you see this as different? I understand the ability to host LLM's internally and build workflows - but what do you mean by AI apps? Are these nocode workflows which can invoke LLM&#x2

- Did you use any fine-tuning with this or is this standard GPT4? - Does quality of response improve with any additional examples? - Does this perform well for specific languages?

While I would love to hear this from an Argentine's POV rather than speculation on why this is happening.. my guess - this is the closest to get a USD exchange for the local populace without having to go through the regulatory hurdles.

Any form of repeated exposure to content or propaganda is bound to have a lasting impact on both our cognition as well as memory. This is how we are wired. The key is to ensure we are able to draw boundaries - a key reason why we are all ta

Good note on a design pattern for a LLM based product. The biggest focal points will be if we see evolution of frameworks that tackle the hard parts here. Evals, RAG, Guardrails often times require recursive calls to LLM's or other fin

Done is a hard concept. I would honestly like to understand if the 10% is in reality 10% or more like 80%. Is the project done until it has adoption? Until it finds utility in someone else's workflow? And does it take 10% more work or

This is absolutely bonkers both by the company as well as employees who they have trusted to build this. This has no positive outcomes on either side.

Are these editors mobile responsive? Or is this something you see more as being used for desktop / cloud based editors?

While life is typically associated with biological systems, intelligence doesn't necessarily need proof of life. A hive, swarm or network can be intelligent as long as it shows self-awareness and has agency.

It's not combining an LLM with data/memory recollection and infinite agency that will lead to leaps in cognition. Complex systems still can do that and still not have self-awareness / cognition. We will need to take some more

Intuition and observation - are the cornerstones of the scientific process. While i do believe we don't have shortage of either, it's when the two meet do we have real breakthroughs. We posit theories and new ways of thinking by o

Beyond the usual rationale of I don't want to work for pennies, I think hard work as a cultural vibe has fallen out of the times. It's also what we have designed our reward systems around. Today's reward systems are tuned not

Deception can be looked at from the lens of probability & friction. Biological and physical processes optimize for low friction especially when it comes to instant reactions. The outcome of not lying is typically perceived penalty, loss

If you can create a likeness of Tom Hanks which doesn't need to be Tom Hanks exactly, who owns the copyright - the digital creator or Tom Hanks. Actors protesting AI protections remind me of factory workers protesting against automatio

We will just spend a whole lot more time creating artificial games and goals. Work is a product of a social construct - we don't need to work, we are made to believe work is how we find meaning. We will build out new social constructs

I wonder why we need this very thing of AI generated. It's a luddite view of AI. Much like the need to distinguish between handcrafted versus machined products - is there a real utility to knowing this? For educators looking at evaluat

Attention spans are an uber representation of something that is far more granular - complexity of task, context length, prior knowhow (affects complexity at a personal level), environmental noise. If our cognition is impacted by information

While as a product user I hate product tours, as a product developer I always wish for an open source alternative. Library looks super cool in terms of the effects which are slick. Personally from over a few products have built, even the be

Do we really lack a good understanding of LLM's and deep nets that we need to be afraid of them? I would love to see this disproved with some open source work on the internals of these models and how they do inference and exactly reaso

All behaviour (management or individuals) is determined by goals and objectives. I don't think anyone in management turns up thinking I want to create the most toxic work environment and work only with folks who are not good at anythin

Maybe at the end of this cycle what we really invest in is on humanization of work. New work maybe all about having a human interface with the ability to connect to the person on the other side. And the entire decisioning and thinking is do

I have always wondered is greatness is something we see in retrospect and in the middle of all the work - do we really see it as great. What keeps us ticking to do the work? The passion, the finish line, the eye on the goal, the fleeting mo
