Writing for Consumption by AI not Humans The Batch from @AndrewYNg and @DeepLearningAI is one of the better AI newsletters out there. In this issue, he talks about how “people are posting text online that’s intended for direct consumption not by humans, but by LLMs (large language models).” I find myself doing this all the time with our internal documentation. People aren’t going to read it when I write it (or probably ever). But when they need the answer, they’re going to ask our AI RAG librarian. So, I’m writing the content for the AI and not for the human. The AI will then write for the human. The AI needs to be able to find the right answer and package it properly for the human. When I create new content, I write it with the AI in mind. When the AI gives the wrong answer but the content is there, I rewrite the content and test it until it gives the right answer. Writing for the AI is different from writing for a human. It needs clarity, simplicity, and structure. If you give the AI what it needs, then its outputs are more likely to be what you need. info.deeplearning.ai/next-gen-model… #AI #LLM #RAG #artificialintelligence

So much good content always, but especially recently, from @a16z on AI, crypto, manufacturing, and operations. 1. On AI and Operations: This is exactly what we're seeing in the professional services industry. So far, we've automated inputting unstructured emails and contracts and outputting structured data for our profile, contract, bookkeeping, and other databases, saving us many hours of boring work and avoiding errors. "As AI turns labor into software, the opportunity to productize external professional services (e.g., in legal or accounting) has become a hot topic. However, we believe there is also substantial opportunity in productizing internal work within organizations. These responsibilities often fall under the umbrella term of “operations” and can range from full-time data entry and front desk roles, to routine operational tasks embedded in every other role. This work generates fewer media headlines, but it is the internal stitching that holds companies together." a16z.com/rip-to-rpa-the… 2. On Manufacturing and Operations: Interesting podcast on "Rebuilding America's Industrial Backbone", including lots of good tips on how to build and scale an efficient organization even outside of the manufacturing space. open.spotify.com/episode/2Gf0oQ… 3. On Crypto: Several good posts. It will be exciting to see what happens with the potential change in regulatory approach. a16zcrypto.substack.com/p/the-path-for… #AI #automation #operations #efficiency #crypto #blockchain

@infinitemachine @a16z Super exciting! Congrats!

We’re thrilled to announce our $9.3M Seed round led by @a16z’s American Dynamism. With this capital, we’ll manufacture and bring P1 to market and lay the foundation for our broader mission to make the best non-car vehicles on earth. Alongside a16z, we’re proud to partner with @adjacent, @NecessaryVC, @amasad, @joshm, @clementdelamgue, @mollyfmielke, @benrbn, @tmrohan, @nicorosberg, @kevintwohy as we make our vision a reality. @josephcohen @EddieCohen

@cjpedregal @wordware_ai @Max Moving back?

Stuff that only happens in SF... Went to visit the @wordware_ai guys to get product feedback: "How did you find out about Granola?" "@Max, the Instacart co-founder, told us about it. He's downstairs, want to talk to him?" We then get 20 minutes of detailed product feedback from Max himself 🙏

Great product! Congrats to the team!

An early version from @AnthropicAI of AI using your computer to do your work for you, based on your prompt. You tell it what to do and it does it. youtube.com/watch?v=ODaHJz…

Chat interfaces are fun and easy to use, but to get the most value from AI, you need to build a system with various subsystems that use the right tool for the task, including using different AI models and fine-tunings, RAG, traditional code, and more. We've seen this when building internal tools at NU. Before we employ AI, we're creating, parsing, and editing data, and using traditional code and approaches, to narrow and simplify the task for AI to help the AI succeed. Great podcast from Latent Space (@latentspacepod) with Mike Conover (@vagabondjack) of Brightwave (@brightwaveio) on how AI is changing financial research and how to build AI products generally. latent.space/p/brightwave

Really interesting podcast from Practical AI (@PracticalAIFM) on building Perplexity (@perplexity_ai), an AI search and answer engine, with Co-Founder & CTO Denis Yarats (@denisyarats). changelog.com/practicalai/274

Great AI use case. And great tool. #ai

@waitbutwhy buffalo

Ugh

Need copyediting help and the dictionary is being ambiguous

@erichdylus @gacjr1 @0xEthChicago @mark_swiderski8 @eliana_esq @BrantlyMillegan @jordanteague @lex_node I wish I could but I also can’t make it.

@gacjr1 @0xEthChicago @mark_swiderski8 @eliana_esq @jaredcohe @BrantlyMillegan @jordanteague @lex_node I wish! Unfortunately have a conflict, sad to miss

Who’s going to @0xEthChicago next weekend? @mark_swiderski8 and I will be on scene @eliana_esq @jaredcohe @BrantlyMillegan @erichdylus @jordanteague @lex_node

Are most new AI products just a front-end website with a top secret, proprietary AI prompt behind it? It sends the prompt and my data to an AI API, receives the response, and then presents a pretty, formatted response back to me? Will every prompt become a company the same way that every unix command became a company? #AI #unix #product @OpenAI

@lexfridman @MrBeast @elonmusk X?

@MrBeast @elonmusk X

@cjpedregal @andrewingram And YouTube. It’s all @MrBeast and Ninja Kidz now.

@andrewingram Kids will destroy your music recommendations

Is there a way to make Spotify forget the week I spent putting on 10 hour long "dog sleep" playlists to try and help the dog sleep? A month later and all my discover recommendations are still based on that.

@brett1211 Hah!

@jaredcohe My Guestlist got so good that I am no longer invited

Old acquaintance asks for meeting. I invite him to drinks w me and a few founders. He wants to know who is attending before committing, to avoid wasting time w irrelevant early stage founders. Fair question or offensive?

During the creation process, your website says: "We do NOT refund anyone who breaks these terms." And: "We do not refund orders that do not meet the requirements." So people probably assume that you're going to be difficult about refunding and jump directly to a chargeback. If you really want to lower the chargeback rate, you may have to make it clearer in the process, which will also probably cause more refunds, but still might be the best practice.

Why are people like this? We offer a fully automated refund system at HeadshotPro, no questions asked. Yet, folks still dispute. Funnily, most of them upload garbage, or break ToS. Anyone here have experience how to bring this down even further?

Since I started playing with AI, I'm also noticing how many similar but not identical tasks I do that a computer will be able to do for me. Fuzzy if this then that actions. Fuzzy versions of @zapier tasks. Often at the operating system level of the computer, because it would need access to a variety applications or websites.

This direction is great. Super power of LLMs is being able to translate between different semantic spaces - being able to do that automatically per db entry makes it useful at scale. My gut is that this kind of stuff will end up being way more used than "write X for me"
