I believe there is a new wave of interest in deeper understanding of complex systems through modelling and connecting with machine learning. I organized this conference on exploring system dynamics with AI which you can see most of the lectures here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6zSfYNSRHalAsgIjHHsttpYf... The idea was to think about it from different directions including academia, industry, and education. Nob…

An AI conference that isn't bullshit hype? Will wonders never cease? > Nobody presented multi agent simulations but I agree with you that is a very interesting way of thinking about things. To answer your question I did build a simulation of how a multi model agent swarm - agents have different capabilities and run times - would impact the end user wait time based on arbitrary message parsing graphs. After playing wi…

Yeah I already have loads of people asking when the next one is for this exact reason. Haha. Well, I would love to have people help organise the next one. But I don't know yet

Not you in particular, but I hear this common refrain that the "LLM landscape is shifting", but what exactly is shifting? Yes new models are constantly announced, but at the end of the day, interacting with the LLMs involves making calls to an API, and the OpenAI API (and perhaps Anthropic's variant) has become fairly established, and this API will obviously not change significantly any time soon. Given that there is…

I appreciate your comment. I suppose my comment is reserved more for the documentation than the actual models in the wild? I do worry that LLM service providers won't do any better than rest API providers in versioning their backend. Even if we specify the model in the call to the API, it feels like it will silently be upgraded behind the scenes. There are so many parameters that could be adjusted to "improve" the ex…

Years ago we complained about the speed with which new JavaScript frameworks were popping into existence. Today it goes one order of magnitude faster, and the quality of the outputs can only be suffering. Yes there's code but so and so, interfaces and APIs change dramatically, and the documentation is a few versions behind. Who has time to compare simply cannot do it in depth, and ideas get also dropped on the way. I don't want to call it a mess because it's too negative, to have many ideas is great but I feel we're still in the brainstorming phase.

The fraud we deal with is a lot more than $10.

Do you find that the entities committing fraud are using generative AI tools to facilitate the crimes?

They use every tool you can imagine. Most are not imaginative but many are profoundly smart. They could do anything they set their minds to and for some reason this is what they do.
