Thinking you can figure out someone in 5 minutes makes you a no hire from me ;)

Yeah, and thats fine, there is literally no need to have them consistent between teams.

Agree, a main benefit of using these would be performance gains.

I think LangChain basically tried to do a land grab, insert itself between developers and LLM's. But it didn't add significant value and seemed to dress it up by adding abstractions that didn't really make sense. It was that abstraction gobbledygook smell that made me cautious.

When we see what we think is a cat, what we have categorised as a cat, I don't think we are looking at it from each angle and going, cat, cat, cat. I think there is an aspect of something like the 'free-energy principle' that is required to trigger off a re-assessment. So while visually we may receive 20fps of cat images, it's mostly discarded unless there is some novelty that challenges expectation.

I don't think its analogous, I don't think we see a cat and our brain have it frame by frame adjust our synaptic weights (or whatever brains do). The whole premise of natural brains being able to learn by static images or disjointed modalities is a very clunky reductionist engineered approach we have taken.

I'd say that was more like a single instance, one interaction with a thing.

Mostly someone has a Phd and convinced people to give them money to 'change the world', then need someone who has actually built things beyond a script in a python notebook.

Pompousness and self importance, we all get interviewed at some point don't power trip, it should be a humble two way conversation.

I think there is potential, but at the moment it's

1. RAG your data 2. Magic 3. Agent business logic 4. $$$

where step 2 is very unclear.

Also agent architecture what is it? A basic FSM which in essence is a bunch of business logic/rules with LLM API calls, how do you make this reliable for transactions.

I've yet to see a decent example of a business process replaced which isn't a question answer scenario i.e. call centre type role.

Except (and really not wanting to offend Indians), what we did is import a large number (by percentage of tech jobs) of skilled Indians which drove down the market rate for those jobs, either way it had the 'benefit' of driving down costs.

Good luck with that!

Make the generation realtime VR and Meta Quest might have its killer app!

Little by little is my advice, be at hand but not a crutch, show them what they are missing out on but don't push them to engage, they have to decide they want a better life and to do something about it.
