When it comes to AI, people seem to be having very disparate experiences. Some people become enthusiastic, while others become frustrated, even when apparently attempting similar tasks.

In this episode of Wading Through AI, Demetri and I address the root causes of the feeling a lot of people - both pro- and anti-AI - are having that either they must be crazy, or everyone else must be, because their experiences seem to differ so dramatically from what they are hearing from others.

In this second episode of Wading Through AI, Demetri and I discuss the recent Anthropic blog post about “parallel Claudes” building a C Compiler, and use it as a case study for how to assess AI announcements.

A few weeks ago, I was approached by long time AI-researcher and personal friend Demetri Spanos about producing a discussion series on emerging AI topics.

Since Demetri has been working on AI technology for decades, now that it’s the hot topic, he regularly gets bombarded with questions from friends who want an opinion from the inside. The idea for the series was to see if we could get those answers out to a wider audience.

As most of you already know, I don’t work with AI myself, so I’m really looking forward to these discussions. Demetri is exceptionally good at avoiding hyperbole, and does a fantastic job providing the technical context you need to draw your own conclusions. As you’ll see, he never tries to sell a specifically positive or specifically negative view of AI, which is very refreshing compared to the normal AI discourse.

I hope you enjoy this first discussion as much as I did. If you’re a subscriber, and have questions or topics you’d like us to cover on future episodes, please feel free to leave a suggestion in the comments! I will be checking regularly to see what our readers are most interested in.
