Pay attention to the section on LLM security at the end of the talk.

Making LLMs “uncool” (Language Warning)

Making Large Language Models Uncool Again: Youtube

Uncool “takeaways”

• ~30b parameter models a missed opportunity
• We are “fine-tuning” wrong
• Uncertainty future directions for small (fine-tuned) vs large (API) models
• LLM architecture not the path to AG(S)I

Determinism vs Stochasticity?

• Determinism through RAG and Tool use
• Tool code created by LLM based Co-pilots or Agents
• What “Programming Language” should we use for the deterministic part?
• We don’t have an integrated paradigm for what “systems engineering” means in a age of AIs

For after Christmas…
