You know, the topic

  4. the last six years. You know, the topic the last six years. You know, the topic of scaling has always been so of scaling has always been so of scaling has always been so interesting and how incredibly interesting and how incredibly interesting and how incredibly misunderstood and misapplied, misunderstood and misapplied, misunderstood and misapplied, misconceived that it is. And so misconceived that it is. And so misconceived that it is. And so the this whole concept of just the this whole concept of just the this whole concept of just genericizing stuff is not where you genericizing stuff is not where you genericizing stuff is not where you start. It's maybe where you want to get start. It's maybe where you want to get start. It's maybe where you want to get to. But those of you who've worked in to. But those of you who've worked in to. But those of you who've worked in the IT world who've been promised all the IT world who've been promised all the IT world who've been promised all these things about you know homogeneous these things about you know homogeneous these things about you know homogeneous let's get to a homogeneous architecture let's get to a homogeneous architecture let's get to a homogeneous architecture or let's get to XYZ target state you or let's get to XYZ target state you or let's get to XYZ target state you know those hardly ever happen and the know those hardly ever happen and the know those hardly ever happen and the reality is that people in the field the reality is that people in the field the reality is that people in the field the people operate stuff that people have to people operate stuff that people have to people operate stuff that people have to deliver have to make choices and they deliver have to make choices and they deliver have to make choices and they have to make better ones than the have to make better ones than the have to make better ones than the aspirational. So, I don't know why I'm aspirational. So, I don't know why I'm aspirational. So, I don't know why I'm ranting. Maybe I'm just like, ranting. Maybe I'm just like, ranting. Maybe I'm just like, but anyways, remember to take us but anyways, remember to take us but anyways, remember to take us seriously at your own at your own peril. seriously at your own at your own peril. seriously at your own at your own peril. >> Steve, I don't know what's going on, >> Steve, I don't know what's going on, >> Steve, I don't know what's going on, Steve. I don't know what's going on Steve. I don't know what's going on Steve. I don't know what's going on today, but I think we messed up with the today, but I think we messed up with the today, but I think we messed up with the prompt to generate learner this morning.

  5. prompt to generate learner this morning. prompt to generate learner this morning. >> Yeah, I'm going K on everyone. >> Yeah, I'm going K on everyone. >> Yeah, I'm going K on everyone. >> I have that memo at all. >> I have that memo at all. >> I have that memo at all. >> Yeah, we're using perplexity too much. >> Yeah, we're using perplexity too much. >> Yeah, we're using perplexity too much. Actually, I still using the tool to do Actually, I still using the tool to do Actually, I still using the tool to do research and I will tell you, I don't research and I will tell you, I don't research and I will tell you, I don't care what anyone says, it's not that care what anyone says, it's not that care what anyone says, it's not that good. Um, for me, definitely not good good. Um, for me, definitely not good good. Um, for me, definitely not good enough. Um, I have to use duck.go the enough. Um, I have to use duck.go the enough. Um, I have to use duck.go the non the AI stuff because now actually non the AI stuff because now actually non the AI stuff because now actually duck.go is better than Google duck.go is better than Google duck.go is better than Google >> in a lot of instance. It's scary because >> in a lot of instance. It's scary because >> in a lot of instance. It's scary because what they do is they basically go to off what they do is they basically go to off what they do is they basically go to off tags and indexes indices and they do it tags and indexes indices and they do it tags and indexes indices and they do it the old school way which actually is the old school way which actually is the old school way which actually is more conducive to uh an individual doing more conducive to uh an individual doing more conducive to uh an individual doing research, right? Like sort of going research, right? Like sort of going research, right? Like sort of going through the cognitive exercise of trying through the cognitive exercise of trying through the cognitive exercise of trying to solve a problem or compose a thought, to solve a problem or compose a thought, to solve a problem or compose a thought, right? Or perspective right? Or perspective right? Or perspective >> feed it to you and it's it's >> feed it to you and it's it's >> feed it to you and it's it's dramatically it's not even generic. It's dramatically it's not even generic. It's dramatically it's not even generic. It's just crappy and a lot of times you spend just crappy and a lot of times you spend just crappy and a lot of times you spend a lot of time just unpacking stuff and a lot of time just unpacking stuff and a lot of time just unpacking stuff and then there's gaps everywhere. So anyway, then there's gaps everywhere. So anyway, then there's gaps everywhere. So anyway, >> well they have different objectives. I >> well they have different objectives. I >> well they have different objectives. I mean in the end Google objective is to mean in the end Google objective is to mean in the end Google objective is to sell you ads. So just as simple as that.

  6. sell you ads. So just as simple as that. sell you ads. So just as simple as that. >> No, but you know the Gen AI tools, >> No, but you know the Gen AI tools, >> No, but you know the Gen AI tools, they're they're going to move in that they're they're going to move in that they're they're going to move in that direction. But the there there's direction. But the there there's direction. But the there there's something much more disturbing about the something much more disturbing about the something much more disturbing about the path the chasm they have to cross in path the chasm they have to cross in path the chasm they have to cross in order to get to monetization.

Kind of like how we went derivatives. Kind of like how we went from LLM toes to um you know, um now the from LLM toes to um you know, um now the from LLM toes to um you know, um now the multimodal stuff and then we went to uh multimodal stuff and then we went to uh multimodal stuff and then we went to uh you know, a Gentic. We're at a Gentic you know, a Gentic. We're at a Gentic you know, a Gentic. We're at a Gentic now. And then they're throwing physical now. And then they're throwing physical now. And then they're throwing physical on top of it. and no consideration about on top of it. and no consideration about on top of it. and no consideration about how hard it is to actually do any stuff how hard it is to actually do any stuff how hard it is to actually do any stuff remotely. Well, remotely. Well, remotely. Well, no one talks about that secure private.

  11. no one talks about that secure private. no one talks about that secure private. No one talks about that responsibly. No one talks about that responsibly. No one talks about that responsibly. Absolutely nobody talks about that. Absolutely nobody talks about that. Absolutely nobody talks about that. >> Even part of >> Even part of >> Even part of >> part of a gentic is and this points back >> part of a gentic is and this points back >> part of a gentic is and this points back to privacy and the thing I think we to privacy and the thing I think we to privacy and the thing I think we talked about this before and this is talked about this before and this is talked about this before and this is kind of personalization. So a gentic is kind of personalization. So a gentic is kind of personalization. So a gentic is just a dressed up coat on top of just a dressed up coat on top of just a dressed up coat on top of personalization. And whenever you hear personalization. And whenever you hear personalization. And whenever you hear personalization, it just means they want personalization, it just means they want personalization, it just means they want more data or more information about you. more data or more information about you. more data or more information about you. And so that may be one way that they're And so that may be one way that they're And so that may be one way that they're trying to go around some of the privacy trying to go around some of the privacy trying to go around some of the privacy laws by they're saying, you know, we can laws by they're saying, you know, we can laws by they're saying, you know, we can have this agent do all these cool things have this agent do all these cool things have this agent do all these cool things for you and then you're going to give us for you and then you're going to give us for you and then you're going to give us information that you maybe you would not information that you maybe you would not information that you maybe you would not not have otherwise given them. So, it's not have otherwise given them. So, it's not have otherwise given them.

Those systems spy on you and capture data about your on you and capture data about your on you and capture data about your behavior. And we had this conversation behavior. And we had this conversation behavior. And we had this conversation in last show and my my vocation was you in last show and my my vocation was you in last show and my my vocation was you know first advertising should totally know first advertising should totally know first advertising should totally ban but if you don't totally ban it at ban but if you don't totally ban it at ban but if you don't totally ban it at least behavioral advertising should be least behavioral advertising should be least behavioral advertising should be totally banned by law because these totally banned by law because these totally banned by law because these systems are basically and that's why I systems are basically and that's why I systems are basically and that's why I said they spy on you they go beyond said they spy on you they go beyond said they spy on you they go beyond knowing your social security number and knowing your social security number and knowing your social security number and when you leave they already know that when you leave they already know that when you leave they already know that but now they look at what you do they but now they look at what you do they but now they look at what you do they look at pattern and they craft some look at pattern and they craft some look at pattern and they craft some communication just to make you buy more communication just to make you buy more communication just to make you buy more stuff.

I it a lot but I use it as an assistant. I it a lot but I use it as an assistant. I iterate with the stuff and there are a iterate with the stuff and there are a iterate with the stuff and there are a number of tasks actually I'm gonna I'm number of tasks actually I'm gonna I'm number of tasks actually I'm gonna I'm gonna be with Rob on the on that where gonna be with Rob on the on that where gonna be with Rob on the on that where he mentioned a few weeks ago that you he mentioned a few weeks ago that you he mentioned a few weeks ago that you know he developed a new project and know he developed a new project and know he developed a new project and coded this old AI just infrastructure coded this old AI just infrastructure coded this old AI just infrastructure using code generation for code using code generation for code using code generation for code generation if you act as an architect generation if you act as an architect generation if you act as an architect you can do some actually really really you can do some actually really really you can do some actually really really great stuff with it but if you just great stuff with it but if you just great stuff with it but if you just think that you're going to drop two think that you're going to drop two think that you're going to drop two sentences in a prompt and it's going to sentences in a prompt and it's going to sentences in a prompt and it's going to generate a fully reliable robust scale generate a fully reliable robust scale generate a fully reliable robust scale available resilient system for you. No, available resilient system for you. No, available resilient system for you. No, it's like everything you have to do the it's like everything you have to do the it's like everything you have to do the hard work. But if you use it as an hard work. But if you use it as an hard work. But if you use it as an assistant on task, it is actually very assistant on task, it is actually very assistant on task, it is actually very very good. So if you're building a very good. So if you're building a very good. So if you're building a report and you want some portion of it report and you want some portion of it report and you want some portion of it to be done by AI because there are like to be done by AI because there are like to be done by AI because there are like 100 pages of document to scan and 100 pages of document to scan and 100 pages of document to scan and actually extract the keywords. By the actually extract the keywords. By the actually extract the keywords. By the way, Steve, I think in your example, the way, Steve, I think in your example, the way, Steve, I think in your example, the guy doesn't know how to use CH GPT guy doesn't know how to use CH GPT guy doesn't know how to use CH GPT because he probably only crawled the because he probably only crawled the because he probably only crawled the front page and not all websites. So front page and not all websites. So front page and not all websites. So that's exactly a perfect example is you that's exactly a perfect example is you that's exactly a perfect example is you get an idiots that just ask one question get an idiots that just ask one question get an idiots that just ask one question GBT instead of look at the website make

  22. GBT instead of look at the website make GBT instead of look at the website make sure you crawl on the page give me the sure you crawl on the page give me the sure you crawl on the page give me the count of the page you watch but yeah but count of the page you watch but yeah but count of the page you watch but yeah but that you know what the thing is is it that you know what the thing is is it that you know what the thing is is it should be able to do that because people should be able to do that because people should be able to do that because people believe that it will give them the right believe that it will give them the right believe that it will give them the right answer you know here's the problem answer you know here's the problem answer you know here's the problem because because because >> you know you know what convenience is >> you know you know what convenience is >> you know you know what convenience is convenience and why people love it so convenience and why people love it so convenience and why people love it so much convenience is basically a nice way much convenience is basically a nice way much convenience is basically a nice way of saying to your customers your ass is of saying to your customers your ass is of saying to your customers your ass is lazy lazy lazy So we came up something that will allow So we came up something that will allow So we came up something that will allow you cater to your proclivity to be a you cater to your proclivity to be a you cater to your proclivity to be a lazy ass.
