It’s been a while! I have decided to split my podcast and newsletter into two streams:Every two weeks a news and resources round up. You’re reading it! I am not 100% sure where else I will archive those yet.With that out the way, time to dig in. AI (of course), music, and SciFi this issue.Rise of Local LLMs ? →In the not-so-distant past, dabbling in generative AI technology meant leaning heavily on proprietary models. The routine was straightforward: snag an OpenAI key, and you're off to the races, albeit tethered to a pay-as-you-go scheme.Large language models can do jaw-dropping things. But nobody knows exactly why. →Two years ago, Yuri Burda and Harri Edwards, researchers at the San Francisco–based firm OpenAI, were trying to find out what it would take to get a language model to do basic arithmetic.AI Prompt Engineering Is Dead →Since ChatGPT dropped in the fall of 2022, everyone and their donkey has tried their hand at prompt engineering—finding a clever way to phrase your query to a large language model
