luccasiau commented on AI Will Upend a Basic Assumption About How Companies Are Organized   bloomberg.com/news/articl... · Posted by u/thm

> One surprising feature about all this tech is that I crunch through more work, more quickly than before — with a startling and happy result that I spend less time in front of a screen than I have in years.

I sit back in my chair with my vending machine cocoa. The 100K word report is done. Five years ago it would have been a 20K report. But still my AI assistants helped me get this work done in half the time that the 20K report would have taken.

The research justifying the narrative that AI will free up time instead of causing more work to fill up the time (if it works; if not it doesn’t matter) is done. Meaning I can take the rest of the day off.

Tomorrow I have 2M words to research. Five years ago that would have been 300K. But my AI assistants will summarize it for me. Meaning it still only will take half the time.

It's a little amusing to me that we ended up in a loop of (i) write bullet points, (ii) ask AI to expand bullet points into a long text, (iii) reader gets long text, (iv) reader uses AI to condense the long text into bullet points

Same for Airflow? I’m not sure I understand what you mean.

They were both made by Airbnb and then open-sourced, which is the similarity I assume they meant

> Which brings some simplicity to the client

And puts all the complexity on the backend :-)

As far as I've seen, front-end developers are generally quite happy about graphql. Back-end developers on the other hand are a different story.

I’d say it moves “all the complexity” to the backend if it were defining one REST endpoint for each page the client loads. With GraphQL, each resolver is individually much simpler logic, and there’s no effort to do the stitching.

So basically frontend+backend effort with GraphQL is much smaller than frontend+backend with REST

Is there a company that makes a hosted version of something like this? I quite want a little AI that I can feed all my data to to ask questions to.

https://libraria.dev/ offers this and more as a service. It has added conveniences like integration with your google drive, youtube videos, and such

so - if i download a boatload of research papers from scihub about topic X - this will be base its knowledge off them? if so i was just thinking this would be cool to have - and here it is?
luccasiau · 2 years ago
I was thinking something similar and the answer is yes I think.

I uploaded a public-domain copy of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and now I feel like I can get direct knowledge from the man himself

It worked pretty well on the first attempt. Will try putting more authors in it now
