The most human skill of the AI era

5. Latent Space
Models store patterns in compressed abstract representations. That’s why they can remix ideas and generalise surprisingly well.

6. Fine-Tuning vs Prompting
Prompting changes the output for one conversation. Fine-tuning changes the model’s behavior itself.

3. Hallucinations
LLMs are designed to generate believable output, not guaranteed truth. That’s why they can be confidently wrong.

4. RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
RAG gives models access to external data at runtime instead of forcing everything into the prompt.

The girlies are building Cyberdecks. Why?

[Andrew Codesmith @andrewcodesmith]

npm install is now a cybersecurity issue.

Vercel = hacked. Axios = hacked.

Hackers rode the trust developers place in OAuth apps, maintainers, and package registries.

If something can be trusted, it can be weaponised.
