@marvinkennis @blader I think more real time data, the ability to provide factual data as context and tools to trigger actions could take it a lot further. Lets look back in 2025 :)

@blader I think we’re relatively close to a plateau with LLMs. Would actually put some money on this.
Probably hoovered up most publicly available data, some small gains from private data and optimizations to architectures.
Famous last words?

Carv is live for English meetings now. We’ll be adding 9 more languages in the weeks to come.
It’s time to say NO to meetings. Please answer NO in the comments to get access to our beta program!

$SIVB announces $1.75 b common stock and $500 mm preferred stock offerings, as it tries to shore up its balance sheet. It also sold most of its $21 b "available for sale" securities portfolio, resulting in -$1.8 b in after-tax losses for Q1 2023. These were likely necessary steps as rising funding costs & ongoing deposit run-off create huge headwinds.
The elephant in the room remains the roughly -$16 b in unrealized losses in its "held to maturity" portfolio. $SIVB would be insolvent if they were forced to realize these losses (and if they sell *any* of the HTM securities, they must mark them *all* down).
Long story short, even if $SIVB avoids the worst case scenario, the bank faces enormous ROE headwinds for many years due to its huge ~$90 b portfolio of fixed-rate, long duration mortgages that mgmt bought at the top-of-the-market.

Silicon Valley Bank $SIVB reports earnings tomorrow Investors have rightfully been fixated on $SIVB's large exposure to the stressed venture world, with the stock down a lot. However, dig just a little deeper, and you will find a much bigger set of problems at $SIVB... 1/10

@speedplane @JacobMSmall1 Interested to learn how it works out in your usecase.

@JacobMSmall1 Not yet... there's a lot you need to do to get embeddings working with a search engine.

An issue with #gpt3 is that it's limited to processing about 3000 words, so can't analyze long documents... common in #legaltech. Been working around it by iteratively chaining pages in a template (see template). Experimentally getting decent results.

The average twenty-five-year-old will spend 4️⃣2️⃣3️⃣3️⃣6️⃣ hours in meetings.
That's enough time to go to the moon. And back. On a bicycle...
Maybe it's time to change the way we collaborate?
