Multimodal AI models don't just process text. They understand images, audio, and video too. Imagine describing a UI verbally and seeing it materialize, or debugging visual glitches by showing your AI assistant a screenshot. leanpub.com/effortless-pro…

If you think AI is all just copy-and-paste from human work, or a simple linear statistical projection of the most likely next token, this article shares the math behind the complex function compositions that allow language models to "think": medium.com/effortless-pro…

ChatGPT gives advice customized to your chat context, and A LOT of people find value in horoscopes. Think of them as random prompts to trigger self-reflection. Even if it does give advice that could be generally applicable, there still may be a lot of value in that advice.

ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode for real-time translation isn't getting the hype it deserves. It doesn’t just translate words—the model *actually* understands conversation context and adjusts to dialects. Try it next time you travel. The other person will think you're from the…

In my book I wrote that the cost of really getting how to use AI is three sleepless nights. If you haven’t had at least a minor crisis (What does this mean for my job? What does it mean for my kids’ jobs? What does it mean to think?) you probably haven’t used AI enough.

You really, really should not trust audio clips anymore Even a couple months ago, it used to take a commercial service to clone a voice. No more. Here is me creating a voice clone of myself using just a 10 second reference clip on my home computer This is all real time, no cuts

Google's NotebookLM is the current best "wow this is amazing & useful" demo of AI Here I gave it the entire text of my book, it turned it into a podcast, a study guide, FAQ, timeline & quite accurate chat Listen to the first few minutes of the "podcast." Seriously, just listen.

This paper shows having a short conversation with an AI can get people who believed in a conspiracy theory to change their beliefs & this lasts for months So AIs can prompt changes in deeply held beliefs, with big implications. And they used logic & discussion, not manipulation

People who think prompt engineering won't be a thing in the future overlook the fact that humans use prompt engineering in natural language with other humans all the time. Express your intent as clearly as possible to get the right results.

Break big problems into small parts. Hide obvious complexity to reveal meaningful insights.

We are absolutely at a place where, if AI development completely stopped, we would still have 5-10 years of rapid change absorbing the capabilities of current models and integrating them into organizations and social systems. I don't think development is going to stop, though.

Chain-of-Thought Prompting: A technique that involves guiding the AI model through a step-by-step reasoning process to arrive at a final answer. This method can improve the accuracy of responses... medium.com/@_ericelliott/…

🤯So real agents came faster than I thought Without any Python ability. I signed up for Replit and used their new AI coder. I was able to build a working app that identifies sentiment at the paragraph level in 23 minutes. I only interacted 8 times. It did the design & debugging

In a time where AI builds custom apps for anybody in seconds, what are the new software business models?

What can an 8-year-old build in 45 minutes with the assistance of AI? My daughter has been learning to code with @cursor_ai and it's mind-blowing🤯 Here are highlights from her second coding session. In 45 minutes she built a chatbot powered by @CloudflareDev Workers AI 👀

interesting paper with counterintuitive findings: Synthetic data from cheaper/weaker models can lead to better finetuning results in comparison to sampling from a more expensive/capable model, as you can sample way more at the same price As long as there's signal that is :)

How many "δ" and "η" in "Dimitris", ChatGPT? Inspired by the "gue" bug cc @goodside

It’s a golden age for builders. People who leverage AI can now build things that were unimaginable 2yrs ago. What used to take a team of 5 experts, $1M+, and a ton of time can now be built by a solo dev using Cursor in a few days. The age of superbuilders has begun.
