Next up we have Sam Joseph LLMs can tell jokes, but they’re pretty bad. Sam found he can breed better jokes using ideas from evolutionary computing—with pretty decent results!

Now hearing from Victor Zommers on his experiments getting LLMs to play Go. They were not good, not only losing to KataGo but also Wally, developed in 1981 with just 7 rules.

Day 1 ✅ Tutorial Day at #PyDataAmsterdam

I gave a packed intro to the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — great questions, great energy (even when the demo gods 👀 had their fun).

Now onto 2 days of talks, celebrating 10 years of PyData Amsterdam 🎉

Well that was unexpected; I arrived at @pydatalondon.bsky.social as an attendee and ended up as the August Meetup MC!

Thanks for attending, glad you enjoyed it.
Adding GenAI to an existing working ML system seems unnecessary but @astroadamh.bsky.social goes through reasons to do it whilst navigating pitfalls, e.g. changes in model prices. Great idea exploring this through personas we’ve all encountered in the workplace

Just finished a great tutorial from Samuel Joseph taking us step-by-step through creating a simple GPT model… to tell knock knock jokes. And building intuitive visualisations along the way!
