Words to live by … absolute gold.

[Investment Wisdom @InvestingCanons]

This exchange between Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger is golden—lessons for building wealth and living a better life:

Buffett:

"Write your obituary and try to figure out how to live up to it. For business, You just want to make sure you don't make any mistakes that take you out of the game or come close to taking you out of the game. You should never have a night when you're worried about investing. You should spend a little bit less than you earn."

2 lessons Buffett said learned from Tom Murphy:

"You can always tell someone to go to hell tomorrow."
"Praise by name, criticize by category."

Buffett continued:

"I've never known anybody who was kind that died without friends. But I've known plenty of people with money that died without friends."

Munger:

"It's so simple: you spend less than you earn. Invest shrewdly. Avoid toxic people and toxic activities. Try to keep learning all your life. And do a lot of deferred gratification.

If you do all of those things, you are almost certain to succeed.

And if you don't, you're going to need a lot of luck. And you don't want to need a lot of luck. You want to go into a game where you're very likely to win without having any unusual luck."

Buffett added:

"You need to know how people can manipulate other people and you need to resist the temptation to do it yourself."

Munger agreed vehemently:

"Oh yes, the toxic people who are trying to fool you, lie to you, or who aren't reliable in meeting their commitments—a great lesson in life is to get them the hell out of your life. And do it fast."

Buffett:

"And do it tactfully, too, if possible. But do get them out of your life."

@lennysan @chughesjohnson At what stage should a company consider bringing on a COO? Why? And, what would success look like?

Semantic Search gives great search results, but worked so far just for English😰

#NLP @scale_AI’s meetup headlining @BillMacCartney from @CohereAI discussing the impact of large language models with @vjkaruna.

[April Rassa @arassa]

@AnalystArun Curious how LLMs are being used in Legal. Can you provide some context?

[April Rassa @arassa]

Context is a key requirement at the center of what makes or breaks conversational experiences. Knowledge being dropped at #WorldSummitAI by panelists Phil Blunsom, @CohereAI, Ryan Ra Ong, @Google, Valentin Kassarnig, @speechifai, and moderator Catherine Breslin, @Kingfisher_Labs

[April Rassa @arassa]

“We will see a revolution of large language models. The reality is computers still lack the ability to fully comprehend language, finding it hard to parse the syntax, semantics, and context that work together to give words meaning.” Phil Blunsom from @CohereAI #worldsummitAI

[April Rassa @arassa]

#worldsummitAI panelists including @CohereAI Chief Scientist Phil Blunsom, “the power of our NLP models is providing the flexibility and customization to enable #ConversationalAI.”

[April Rassa @arassa]

Great talk by @JayAlammar from @CohereAI on using language models and sharing few principles and techniques for writing prompts (inputs for Cohere models). #worldsummitAI
