I had an absolute blast talking about the "7 Deadly Sins of AI Applications" with Hugo Bowne-Anderson, and I'm really pumped to see it in text form now!
(But I do think that neither cartoon John or cartoon Hugo are as handsome as the real deal.)

OpenAI just revolutionized image generation, but that's just the beginning. The real game-changer? Visual reasoning is coming - where AI won't just manipulate images, but will actually think through problems using visual simulation.

This is super exciting: Prompt Engineering for LLMs, has been selected for an upcoming beta feature on the O'Reilly Learning platform—AI-powered audio summaries.
They've created two versions (next posts) tell me what you think.

Look out folks! I am Liu-certified to be an AI Consultant now!
Kidding aside, this course really helped me organize how I think about consulting. If you're thinking about tech consulting (even outside of AI), you should consider joining the next cohort maven.com/s/course/3aa...
