Personality protocol for a chatbots platform. How to share personalities among different layers and components. At the end of the day is customization and parametrization of LLM instructions, however an interesting topic to explore.

Seems like girls are the preferred ones to show the human beauty. Wonder why.

I agree with many points, however, it depends on the abstraction that you need and the abstraction depends on the architecture you are adopting.

For example, if you are doing DDD and your repository implementation is about SQL, adding another layer of abstraction is not worth. But if your design is less sophisticated, or you are in an early stage of the project, you may find appealing to use that abstraction.

Prompt's engineer only exists if they can measure the efficiency of their inputs.

How to measure the effectiveness of a given prompt seems to me a big deal now.

The issue with our AI debate is that there's not a single "problem" but many inter-dependent issues without a clear system-wide solution.

- Big tech monopolizing the models, data, and hardware.

- Copyright concerns.

- Job security.

- AIs becoming sentient and causing harm for their own ends.

- Corporations intentionally using AI to cause harm for their own ends.

- Feedback loops will flood the internet with content of unknown provenance, which get included in the next model, etc.

- AI hallucinations resulting in widespread persistent errors that cause an epistemological crisis.

- The training set is inherently biased; human knowledge and perspectives not represented in this set could be systematically wiped from public discourse.

We can have meaningful discussions on each of these topics. And I'm sure we all have a level of concern assigned to each (personally, I'm far more worried about an epistemological crisis and corporate abuse than some AI singularity).

But we're seeing these topics interact in real-time to make a system with huge emergent societal properties. Not sure anyone has a handle on the big picture (there is no one driving the bus!) but there's plenty of us sitting in the passenger seats and raising alarm bells about what we see out our respective little windows.

If we replace AI with books, television, radio and streaming content is this still applying?

chatgpt via Azure is certificable though?

What a win for Microsoft if they can expose openAI as a usable solution...

Cloud computing keeps growing.

Home servers, powered by low cost hardware, may become a real thing.

I know we are scratching semantic here, but

> Complex problems exist...

Complex is an attribute for the solution, the problem could be solvable or not.
