Sat down with Katie Bakewell, a data scientist who's been building this since 2011, back when it was still just called "natural language processing" ๐งฎ
She came up through math (DNA computing, time series on commodities) and thinks about problems like proofs, not recipes.
What we get into: ๐ชจ The Indiana Jones "build me a chatbot" boulder she ran from in 2023 ๐จ The 7 neural nets that "found" a signal that was completely fake ๐๏ธ A $5M Pagani vs a $100 Toyota, and why "best" is a trap ๐ค The first chatbot was built in 1966 (ELIZA)... these aren't new ideas ๐ฌ Meta's SAM3 turning hours of labeling dolphin fins into a single prompt ๐ง Why half the companies asking for AI are solving the wrong problem
โถ๏ธ Go watch
๐ฌ Then drop a comment:
What surprised you most, or what would you have asked her?
Happy learning ๐
