Episode notes

Tune in for a fast-paced conversation with our friends Hinson Chan, a programming prodigy, and Peter Bennett, a technology policy expert. We cover ground from the micro — AI use cases and tips and tricks — to the macro — whether we can make LLMs more moral simply by telling them that LLMs are moral and whether there is simply not enough data to turn the progress-o-meter up to infinity. We hear Peter's fears about breakout scenarios and Hinson's disappointment with the already-in-progress trend toward mediocrity.
