@drgurner @bscholl Small business may be one of AI’s biggest winners.

Large firms already have armies of interpreters: legal, IT, finance, compliance, consultants.

Small firms face the same maze without the army.

AI gives them cheap navigation - and that changes the power balance.

[Lars @LarsMHC]

AI is beginning one of the largest peaceful redistributions of power: from interpreters of complexity
to people trying to act inside it.

The maze of law, process, software and compliance may expand.

But cheap navigation changes everything.

Yin and yang: new power, new risks.

@stevesi The question isn’t whether these 5 men can be trusted.

It’s whether the incentive systems, capital flows, and competitive pressures acting on them produce outcomes aligned with society.

As language becomes code, it'll change how we speak.

[Lars @LarsMHC]

Simple analogy to visualise how an LLM works:

Picture a stack of Jackson Pollock paintings.

Your prompt is a beam of white light dropped through them.

Each layer’s paint tints and bends the light, adding structure.

The coloured pattern that emerges is the next word.

When you boil it down, civilisation is the aggregation of power ... with benefits.

Economic theories of 19th/20th centuries were built upon an economy driven by mechanistic automation.

New economic theories will be required to explain economy driven by mechanistic AND intellectual automation.

The old theories won't, increasingly, work.

Why do you ask? 😀

If you're interested in what's technically feasible, GraphRAG is a valuable addition to the landscape.

[Emil Eifrem @emileifrem]

My friend and Neo4j CTO @prathle has written an outstanding blog post that summarizes the recent buzz around GraphRAG, what we've learned from a year of helping users build systems with Knowledge Graphs + LLMs and where we believe the space is going.

Thread below. 👇🧵

@Suhail Agree. First iteration of our chatbot used the classic 'right corner round floating action' button. We replaced with simple input field; interaction increased x3. Search is a trusted navigation path which AI features can be added to.

@GregKamradt Open a new ChatGPT4 and try:

What is the 4th letter in your response? And in what sentence is the letter?

I suspect it's using the new 'memory' feature.

[Lars @LarsMHC]

Confidence in generative AI is crucial for businesses. That’s why Conversium launched the Accuracy Assessment tool — a quick way to gauge Conversium's RAG reliability. Independent verification services would be ideal. But for now, check it out!

Totally agree. For AI entrepreneurs, capitalizing on the moment when AI is trusted more than humans will be a huge tailwind. The timing of each use case may vary significantly. #AI #entrepreneurship

[Ryan Hoover @rrhoover]

Posit: Eventually most people will trust AI far more than humans for the majority of use cases.

It's only been 1 day of CES 2024, and the tech developments have been incredible.

The 10 most impressive reveals of CES 2024 so far:

1. The world's first transparent MICROLED screen by Samsung

Timelines map the past with precision; timeframes shape the future with flexibility.

Thoughts?

Amusing and insightful speech on the power of words.

[Alvin Foo @alvinfoo]

Mohammed Qahtani, the winner of the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking, brilliant speech! 👍

Returning to OpenAI & getting back to coding tonight.

[Sam Altman @sama]

i love openai, and everything i’ve done over the past few days has been in service of keeping this team and its mission together. when i decided to join msft on sun evening, it was clear that was the best path for me and the team. with the new board and w satya’s support, i’m looking forward to returning to openai, and building on our strong partnership with msft.
