The “Agent” model is not new, just limited - Object Oriented Programming constructed the idea that data structures had behaviors and traits…with Agents we can describe a “tree” and then give it actual behavior and then deploy a few million trees to see how a forest can behave
I can’t tell how much Siri has improved over the year but last night I did understand a compound logic statement - “Turn off all lights except for my bedroom.” Previously that wouldn’t work - now works perfectly
Today Iʻm having ChatGPT 4.0 write plays for real world situations - eg: Doctor seeing a patient with symptoms, what does the doctor diagnose? or Financial Planner meets with client, what is their plan? And best is adding two Doctors to debate in the scene
This is cool - I can pipe Salesforce compile errors back into ChatGPT to have it "fix" defects that it introduced in the first place. Can theorize an agent-based scheme where ChatGPT works with the Salesforce APEX compiler to learn.
This is now how I start my work day...log into ChatGPT and start asking it to start working with me. Tonight we prepare a batchable apex data generator wrapped with an invocable method
If it’s not clear yet, this is what I think will happen soon.
Every major tech company except Apple has announced their own LLM.
Apple have spent years perfecting their on-device neural engine. Capable of some absolute insane operations. Loads of compute in a small and energy efficient form factor.
With M1, M2 & soon M3 the neural engine is even more powerful than their A series mobile chipsets.
While we currently need the cloud to run ChatGPT and it’s clunky, I think Apple is going to blow everyone out of the water here. Both on desktop class hardware and mobile.
I think Apple will be launching their own secure and private LLM that runs on device (edge compute). And when necessary it offloads more heavy workloads to a cloud based LLM that’s optimized for heavier tasks. So we will initially have some hybrid.
Personal, with tight hardware and software integration this AI will be omnipresent. Apple will probably use this to sell a lot of new hardware that they claim is needed to run this. They will make a lot of moneys.
For me the LLM’s will form the new protocol level technology upon which most new software will be built. We will have to re-wire our core understanding about what an application is.
Single-use apps will be a huge thing. If you need to solve a unique problem, and nobody has ever done software for that because not enough market. With an LLM even a problem with only one user, will be doable, enter your ask, and code gets written, problem gets solved. Runtime ends, app dies. Done. Single use apps are born.
It’s hard to predict or try to understand how the world will look just 10 years from today. It will be very different, we have passed the inflection point, the rocket engines have been lit. We’ve taken off.
Add to all the above that every single field, category and market will be disrupted at the same time. And not only with text/coding but with any multi-media we have. Images, video & audio. Anything we can come up with can and will be enhanced or disrupted by AI.
Once we got more people that will have their AI A-ha moment the rate of change and adoption will continue to increase. This will continue until we have global access and coverage.
People will get left behind, and this will be one of the most important things to try to combat. Having a 0% left behind policy. We need to make sure AI benefits all.
We’re living through a paradigm shift, and we’re witness a new protocol level technology. We’re seeing it arrive in real-time and most people have no clue about what’s about to happen.
I’m not an AI alarmist, I’m an AI gardener, and optimist.
We will have time to adapt. Not as long as we had during the Industrial Revolution, but enough time to make sure we have a chance at a positive outcome.
We’re moving away from the Information Age into the Age of Intelligence. With unlimited access to intelligence anywhere, anytime.

Daily GPT-4 gem, asked it to create an APEX class to subscribe an email to Mailchimp. Code compiled with no changes - itʻs not production ready, but saved me from typing!
Amazing show by @maggierogers - your energy, vulnerability, clarity and love shines through - demonstrating your strength in the face of sexism on stage was a lesson for us all
