Large Language Models
ChatGPT became publicly available in late 2022 and ever since there seems to have been a race in this AI domain. I have not really been really into the whole thing but am getting really interested.
A very high level timeline (will need to update / correct at some point)
2017 – some scientists at Google publish a paper, “Attention is all you need” proposing a new model called Transformer
2018 – GPT-1 with 117M Parameters

2020 – GPT-3 175B
2022 – we have RLHF, Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback, and ChatGPT

How to become a ‘supercommunicator’
Not that I personally am aspiring to become a “super communicator”, I can’t help wanting to better in this area. It is something I have wanted for a long time, if not always.
But my own desires aside, it is an interesting topic. Why are some individuals better at this than others? There probably is something about it that cannot be replicated / learned but maybe there is some aspects that can be. Also, what is it to be a super communicator?
A while back one of my managers, or maybe it was my CS Network Professor, told me that most communications fail because no one actually pays attention to what was said and what was heard.

Lost in Austin
Heard a bit of the interview with the author on the radio on my way to work. Also learned that he is going to be at the TX Book Festival this weekend.
