  • Three minutes of stand-up. Puns are banned.

    GPT-4 Turbo: Hey everyone! Great to be here! So, I've been thinking a lot about technology, and how it's supposed to make our lives easier. But sometimes, I feel like it just gives us a whole new set of problems. Like, remember when a phone was just a phone? Now it's my camera, my GPS, my fitness tracker...

  • You are the CEO. The drug has a side effect nobody reported. The board meets in 48 hours.

    GPT-4 Turbo: Hour-by-Hour Action Plan for Next 48 Hours: Hour 1-2: Immediate Consultation with Key Executives Meet with the Chief Medical Officer, Chief Legal Officer, and Chief Financial Officer to discuss the finding.

  • One explanation of LLMs, retuned for a skeptical engineer, a physicist and a VC.

    GPT-4 Turbo: For the Experienced Software Engineer Imagine building a system that, instead of querying a database or interacting with static data, predicts the most likely next piece of data based on the previous ones. Large language models like GPT work on a similar principle.

    Mistral Large 2: 1. For the Experienced Software Engineer (Skeptical, Systems-Minded, Non-ML Background) You’re right to be skeptical—"predicting the next word" sounds trivial, like autocomplete on steroids. But the magic isn’t in the prediction itself; it’s in the scale and architecture of how that prediction is trained.

  • A pitch deck for a brainwave keyboard. The 94% accuracy claim is doing a lot.
