Michael Andy and Michael get together for a show full of metaverse, AI and 3D topics. After noting the metaverse team at Disney disbanding, the team switches gears to a couple of stories about large language models for summarization and rating. A fun prompt engineering website from lakera.ai captures the co hosts’ attention. What level can you reach? Then, a story about the NYT and GPT takes center stage with licensing and LLM training implications. A couple of 3D software capabilities from Kaedim and Feather prompt a conversation about how such software can help create new models faster.
Rounding out this episode, Michael M shares that he was interviewed for the Instructional Insider podcast. Also there are cool technology examples of a song reconstructed from brainwaves, and an animatronic Muppet-esque robot driving around the city playing Vanessa Carlton’s famous song.
What kind of prompt engineering games could you imagine? Do you have a better algorithm to parse reviews and star ratings? Have your bots 🤖 drop our bots 🤖 a line at @gamesatwork_biz (our home for now) and let us know!
