I asked a few thousand folks (my AI Hero mailing list) what they want to learn about AI. I saw this sentiment a LOT: "Most material out there goes deep on how these models work. I see that as a long-term goal. Right now I want to learn to build stuff with them." Do you agree? I do. - ThreadSky

I asked a few thousand folks (my AI Hero mailing list) what they want to learn about AI.

I saw this sentiment a LOT:

"Most material out there goes deep on how these models work. I see that as a long-term goal. Right now I want to learn to build stuff with them."

Do you agree? I do.

Also, when choosing a model and pricing is there a good way to create benchmarks?

Yeah, you gotta create your own.

Yeah but like, imagine that same statement with something like Vulkan instead of AI. You can't just start building stuff with it, you need to go through the motions of learning how it works. Vulkan is known for being incredibly complex though so maybe it's not a great comparison

Yeah, beyond chat apps. Can these be useful in workers? In APIs? In data ingestion? In testing? In fuzzing?

Yes

Agree so much

Hard agree

For LLMs specifically, I agree.

I think the industry will need more people who know how to build things with LLMs than who know how to build LLMs.

I also think the industry as a whole is going to continue figuring out where they help and where they don’t over the next 5-10 years.
