CEO @unconvai. Former CEO MosaicML/Databricks & Nervana/IntelAI. Neuro + CS. I like to build stuff that will eventually learn how to build other stuff.
Outside of coding, LLMs are like google maps but for thought processes. Mental models I have well established I don't use the crutch. But for things I haven't thought through for a long time, or for new "routes" of thought it's a great guide.
I think this is the right mental model for AI as a teacher; teach the thought process rather than facts. Search reduced the need to know facts, and AI reduces the need to know derivations/thought patterns.
