Do LLMs Boost Productivity? Harvard Business School Interview + 5 Papers Analysed

Lots of articles recently in the New York Times, Washington Post, Forbes and MIT about whether LLMs boost productivity for white-collar workers. Well, I've dug into the details behind 5 of the papers frequently cited, interviewing co-authors [Edward McFowland III from Harvard Business School] and revealing what no other outlet did. Plus, test yourself on a task that GPT-4 actually worsened productivity for, learn about the Simpsons Paradox, and hear what the IMF  thinks about the future ...

Sébastien Bubeck - Exclusive Interview

An exclusive interview with Microsoft's Sébastien Bubeck, co-author of Sparks of AGI and the Phi series of models. From practical tips to AGI timelines, AI on a phone to whether models can reason, it was a great chat and it even ended on a powerful note regarding the future of scaling language models.

Reasoning - The Holy Grail for Artificial Intelligence?

Possibly the most important question for the future of AI - when will models reason from first principles and break down the final barrier to AGI? Drawing on 3 (!) expert interviews including Professor Rao, a thought leader on this question, to present you with the key debate at the heart of the fate of LLMs.

Hallucinations, Bias, and the Secrets of LLMs

Concrete methods to reduce hallucinations, and an exploration of the hidden biases of models that I am 99.8% confident you will learn something new from, but a deep dive into RepE, a stunning new method from Andy Zou, who, surprise-surprise, I managed to interview for this video! Great for practitioners and anyone looking to understand more about the secrets of LLMs.

Agents and the Future of Prompting

Featuring expert lead authors from Google DeepMind, Microsoft and more, we'll explore what the near term future of prompting will look like. We'll discuss how we might soon be getting Auto-SmartGPT and prompt's made by LLM's and optimised even beyond human recognition. With the authors of AutoGen we'll touch on the importance of System Prompts and last but not least discuss with a New York Times featured ML researcher how even Inflection Pi can be jailbroken with the right prompts.

Podcast 1: Reflections on a POST-AGI World

Not like my normal videos! This is a 40 min philosophical stream of consciousness on some of the ramifications of actually achieving AGI. Everyone talks about getting there, very few talk about what happens when we are there. I start with thoughts on a post-labour world, the three centers of gravity (traditionalists, explorers and enjoyers), CERN as a scout and much more. Enjoy on a walk, a run, a drive or while high ... :)

Strange Times

It is strange being a full-time YouTuber, each day is unpredictable. One Tuesday you are chatting with a high-up working on the final stages of the EU AI Act, then Wednesday you are examining a weird LLM quirk [try copying 100 of the letter 'a': e.g.  'a a a a a a' on GPT 3.5 - it's super weird but not sufficiently so for a full video]. One day being sent free advanced copies of AI books in the mail [quite a good one actually], then next day doing a collab with a multi-million sub Youtub...

Update

Thank you all once again for your support.

First update. I have turned down probably 100 sponsorship offers in the last month, including one for up to six figures, spread over a few months, due to not fully believing in the product. Old fashioned, I know, but I have to believe in something to say it, or even promote it. I take the trust of my audience quite seriously and though I will make mistakes (and have done) they should always be honest ones. It is due to your support that I have ...
