Episode Details

Hey yall, welcome to this special edition of ThursdAI. This is the first one that I'm sending in my new capacity as the AI Evangelist Weights & Biases (on the growth team)

I made the announcement last week, but this week is my first official week at W&B, and oh boy... how humbled and excited I was to receive all the inspiring and supporting feedback from the community, friends, colleagues and family 🙇‍♂️

I promise to continue my mission of delivering AI news, positivity and excitement, and to be that one place where we stay up to date so you don't have to.

This week we also had one of our biggest live recordings yet, with 900 folks tuned in so far 😮 and it was my pleasure to again to chat with folks who "made the news" so we had a brief interview with Steve Ruiz and Lou from TLDraw, about their incredible GPT-4 Vision enabled "make real" functionality and finally got to catch up with my good friend Idan Gazit who's heading the Github@Next team (the birthplace of Github Copilot) about how they see the future. So definitely definitely check out the full conversation!
