    I've used RLAIF to build out heuristic based non-LLM models for various decision systems and achieved like, 95% F1 on certain projects. We're in a place where models can be used to…

    The worst has been the post-covid assignment of seating and QR code driven ordering in bars. So few opportunities to mingle. I miss standing in bars, talking to bartenders, chattin…
