    At first glance, I loved it. But then I realized it was just a picture, and that the syllabus itself was a downloadable .doc, and all the rest of it was one centered column of links down the page. :/

Do people flock to talks about ChatGPT because they are scared?

Whenever I give talks about ChatGPT and LLMs, whether to ninth graders, businesses or journalists, I meet people who are hungry for information, who really want to understand this new technology. I’ve interpreted this as interest and a need to understand – but yesterday, Eirik Solheim said that every time […]
