Here’s my thoughts on AI for Career Changers Who Have No Idea What To Do With Their LIves
AI in Education - check the back links at the bottom for more
Prompt Engineering - how to develop prompts that AI can understand and make use of effectively.
iterative prompting - Having a conversation with AI to refine its output.
Five Why's model can be used effectively with GPT as a way of self-coaching.
Think With AI, delegate not substitute

AI does not have a context, therefore it is a Stochastic Parrot
2024 will be a year where people build user friendly versions of specific use cases on top of models.
LLMs mean we can be in curious mode, not analytical mode, most of the time
People see anti or pro ai - I am pro human but that doesn’t mean I’m anti ai #tvz/essay
on AI Deployment: “AI strategies fail because AI is a means, not an end. “Do you have an AI strategy?” makes as much sense as asking, “Do you have an excel strategy?”

- the A16z podcast has some very insight AI content
- Microsoft research podcast is not as dry as you’d think! Lots of great insights from the cutting edge.
- Although this podcast discusses more work and productivity, I feel it is a great corollary to the AI concept. Deep questions with Cal Newport Deep Questions with Cal Newport
