Love this, thanks for sharing ❤
Excellent. Thank you!
Bravo John! Loved it and so rich with gems, tips and interesting exemplars! – from Kevin & Team DDL
Omg people still have no clue that AI isn’t actually a thing at all. It’s a general approach in machine learning that helps automates certain things. We just have recursively automated language similarity models now (ChatGPT). That’s all
Very insightful as usual. Thanks for sharing John.
How to get started creating agents for a not-so-technical product designer? I tried installing Semantic Kernel, but hit some roadblocks on a Mac
Thank you for the dense readout! There's enough here to keep me busy until your next readout in 2025. 🙂
Does the AI think and learn like newborn human ?
