Thirteen minutes is an "exceedingly long video"?! Man, I thought I was jaded complaining about 20 minute videos! :-)

I want to know is what are the connected to? A laptop? A AS400? An old Cray they have lying around? I'd think doing the demo while walking would have been de riguer.

Anyway, tres cool!

Tres cool! Can you point me in the direction of how to do that? We're a small, bootstrapped company and could use a manager like that.

Since I'm interested in local, small-use [1] cases of AI, what about the byte code VMs is not AI-scale? And what is AI-scale?

[1] I'm looking at single-person/small office LLMs to do simple jobs: summarize these pdfs, structure this data, help drafting a document, that sort of thing, not a be-all end-all monster. Think of a bunch of highly intelligent Python scripts as opposed to Microsoft Office.

This is a question that I rarely see answered but would love to know as well.

Which LLMs and plans are you guys using for all of these cool ideas?

ATM I use ChatGPT Plus for everything except coding inside my Jetbrains IDEs.

I'm starting to look around at other LLMs for non-coding purposes (brainstorming, docs, being a project manager, summarizing, learning new subjects, etc.).

So I hear. And we all know smart/rich people can never be duped or make a mistake outside their areas of expertise. /s

Cool. Do you have write-up of the technical details or a tutorial on how you did this? I'm not familiar with the tech you mentioned but it'd be interesting to see how it's done and so...easily? cheaply? by non-mega-organizations?

That one really is "too close to reality" as in, it's now a reality, at least on the battlefield, IIUC.

No, I get the "too close to reality" vibes. I actually like that.

LD&R ROCKED! At least the first season; I still watch it regularly (well, I did before Netflix EOLed my TV). Season 2 was forgettable. Season 3 kinda made up for Season 2.

> there are individuals out there who know a lot about many things, and those are probably the ones companies want to hire the most

No, they don't. They want specialists, as you point out.

If you also avoid movies and books of the same ilk for the same reasons, yeah, I can see that.

To me, they're just great SF stories (well, the first three(?) seasons before Netflix bought them and Americanized them): some poignant, some horror-ish, some uplifting.

I found the "unforeseen consequences" of technology fascinating, but that's just me.

You've missed out on a lot.

Just because I want/use an artisan knife or bake my own bread in my kitchen doesn't mean I want an artisan microwave or raise my own cows.

> one of the many pernicious effects government regulation has caused in the industry.

Honest question.

DAE interpret this as (implying) all government regulation (in this industry) has pernicious effects?
