In this episode, Yujin Tang takes us back to the olden days when Moore's Law caught up, leading to the birth of AlexNet—a groundbreaking convolutional neural network that changed everything. We dive into Titans from Google, long short-term memory networks, and the game-changing 2017 paper on transformers, breaking it all down for the everyday listener.
Understanding large language models is key to navigating the future of AI. We explore an analogy between Google Titans’ inference model and how the human brain processes travel and new experiences. Plus, we break down Mad Libs as a framework for decoding and encoding language.
On the event front, Yujin announces the Seattle Tech Summit on March 28, 2025—tickets available at https://lu.ma/seattle-startup-summit. He’s also hosting on June 3rd in NYC as part of NY Tech Week (June 2–6), and OOS4AI is on the hunt for a San Francisco-based event lead to MC upcoming SF events.
Of course, we had to discuss the fun stuff: Did Elon Musk create Bitcoin? Is the Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk Jitz match ever happening? And speaking of Zuck—what’s with his new hypebeast look? Is he microdosing shrooms?
We also talked Steve Jobs coining "podcast," Reddit threads, and whether people enjoy being told what to do. Would you share everything about yourself with AI if it meant an improved life?
