In the latest Complex Machinery: GenAI companies desperately claim that there are enough nails around for their fancy hammer. They may have convinced each other. But the rest of the world isn't buying it. newsletter.complex-machinery.com/archive/040-al…
Our interactions with genAI chatbots run the gamut. Sometimes the bots really hone in on what makes us tick. For good or ill. In the latest Complex Machinery: I look at ways we get hooked on genAI bots, and how we listen to them when we shouldn't. newsletter.complex-machinery.com/archive/038-ex…
"Check the genAI bot's outputs" has proven a terribly difficult lesson for companies to learn. The Chicago Sun-Times is just the latest example. In the latest Complex Machinery: problem, the risk/reward tradeoff, and a possible solution. newsletter.complex-machinery.com/archive/037-cr…
In the latest Complex Machinery: Our relationship with robots should be simple. But advisor-bots? Friend-bots? Bots that speak in the voice of the departed? Creepy, commercial genAI has really complicated things. newsletter.complex-machinery.com/archive/036-re…
GenAI bots tell execs what they want to hear, and in the way they want to hear it. That's not always a good thing. A nuanced issue is still a nuanced issue, even if the bot oversimplifies it. In the latest Complex Machinery: newsletter.complex-machinery.com/archive/033-ge…
In the latest Complex Machinery: Implementing an AI solution involves a variety of costs. What are the big-ticket items? And what happens as those costs point to zero? newsletter.complex-machinery.com/archive/030-th…
The idea of "free" leads to economically predictable outcomes but may also trigger unexpected, widespread events. In the latest Complex Machinery, I ask what history can teach us about DeepSeek giving away its R1 genAI model. newsletter.complex-machinery.com/archive/029-se…
The #DeepSeek news landed just days after the announcement of the #Stargate AI infrastructure project. One represents $1T in losses, the other $500B in investment. What's been the impact on the #AI space? And what's next? newsletter.complex-machinery.com/archive/028-a-…
GenAI keeps promising more than it delivers. One reason is that the people buying AI live in the present, while those selling it live in the future. I explore this and more in the latest Complex Machinery: newsletter.complex-machinery.com/archive/027-a-…
For the last Complex Machinery of 2024, I wrote about genAI companion bots and a certain risk/reward tradeoff in building AI products. newsletter.complex-machinery.com/archive/025-my…
Engineering with LLMs doesn't have to be complicated. Check out Outlines.
In the latest Complex Machinery, I look into: - a genAI bot that cuts itself off in mid-answer - building resilience - Yet Another GenAI Text Summarization Use Case newsletter.complex-machinery.com/archive/023-we…
In the latest Complex Machinery, I draw parallels between Geocities and modern-day genAI. (No, seriously. Both put the fancy new tech of their day in the hands of everyday people.) Oh, and there's a cat pic. newsletter.complex-machinery.com/archive/021-of…
We expect a lot out of AI. Sometimes it delivers, and it's like magic. Other times it's an illusion, more of a magician's trick. In the latest Complex Machinery I wrote about five AI magic acts. newsletter.complex-machinery.com/archive/019-fi…
