Of course, the profit incentive also applies to all the employees (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, its good to align the company's goals with those of the employees). But when the executives likely have 10s of millions of dol

There's a really interesting analogy here with the LLM platforms that both are a vendor to companies that use their APIs, but also potentially compete with those companies as well as they evolve their offering over time. It would be in

this seems exactly backwards. AI will make good software engineers even more productive, and of course like any new technology those who learn to use it best will see more lift than those who cannot, but I suspect we should expect to see th

It sucks, but the only thing to do is kick ass in the field. The more successful you are, the more companies will copy you. We had companies with 30 or even 100 people hard pivot into an exact clone of our company when it was clear we had t

Python ended up 'specializing' in data contexts, thanks to Numpy / Pandas, and as a result, ended up becoming the first exposure to programming than anyone doing data stuff had. That was millions of people. In that space, it

I think you have every single one of these risks exactly backwards: Potential for Data Breaches: - The idea that third parties have inherently higher breach risk is pure FUD. Data Sovereignty and Compliance Risks/Limited Overside: -

Thanks for the feedback! Going to make some changes to the website to reflect that later today! Right now we support connecting Google Doc, Google Sheet, PDFs from Google Drive, Slack channel, or Confluence space. O365, Notion and a couple

There are great tools that do this already in a support-multiple-ecosystems kind of way! I'm actually the CEO of one of those tools: Credal.ai - which lets you point-and-click connect accounts like O365, Google Workspace, Slack, Conflu

Got it, thanks! For context, Im at Credal.ai (an LLM governance platform), and we have a shared customer who I'm pretty sure does fall into that description with you (use Cody for all their devs), and keeps asking us about whether they

We use both a lot. Their both great, they have different strengths and weaknesses. Right now, my default go to in GPT 4, but Claude for stuff where I need an answer to more reliably not be a hallucination

Its super unlikely to be a direct bribe, I think that much is fair to say. But I think viewed differently, the article is saying: Sunak's family has a tremendous interest in BP and Shell needing consulting services. Might this have an

why is it racist to worry about a somewhat adversarial authoritarian nation state having the capability to disrupt life in the U.K.? I also cannot read the whole article, but you'll note that the article isn't about Taiwanese cars

Thanks for your encouragement and that is a totally fair criticism - when we say that, we mean two things: 1. We support using Credal with your own, open source LLM, which can of course be fully on prem in every sense 2. We also support usi

Thanks so much! So about half of our enterprise customers use Credal in conjunction with either a self hosted LLM or Azure OpenAI (which you can debate, but most companies we've spoken to seem to treat their Azure OpenAI instance as eq

Great questions and thanks for trying the product!! Yup so a few thoughts here - we're exploring using embeddings to allow a description of what you want to hide, that will actually immediately show you what of the data you have synced

Nice! Which AI model are you using for it? If you're using ChatGPT, you can actually use our ChatGPT API and get the PII redaction for free, with hopefully hardly any code changes

Thanks!! There are some fairly good OS models for the core stuff (PII, SSNs etc) out there already (Presidio, Spacey), so folks that need an OS option have one to start with. Detecting the more complex stuff can sometimes need a little iter
