RT5: Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3… Restart Podcast now!

Yes that’s right after a five-month hiatus where I’ve been busy figuring out all things AI and a bunch of new startup ideas, this Christmas break, I’m finally back at it, so here is a quick tour of the new setup. I think the sound is much nicer and also I’m getting a handle on SDR to HDR conversion, so if you are on YouTube, you should see things in their full 4K HDR glory

YouTube player — RT1. Solo podcasting and testing, check it out now

And if you are audio only, you can check it out on Spotify or right here on the page and it should also be up on Apple and other places. The link below uses the Podcast Player which is the green icon in WordPress. Note that I’m still having terrible problems publishing, the number of jobs spirals to over 100 for a minute, so I’m turning off SEO-all-in-1 and JetPack. I already have all the Mastodon plug-ins off.

ST1. August Update on AI 2024-08-08 – Rich Tong Family and Friends

There's been a hiatus mainly because we've been shipping products, but more because I lost all my skills at making new videos. I was stuck for a long time on Drop Zones and doing a better intro and outro, but that's a digression for Final Cut Pro nerds. In this episode, we cover the latest trends as of August 8, 2024, on AI and the latest trends. The big news has been the shipment of so many Large Language Models (LLMs) and what it means for AI which is way more choice and confusion. Plus the emergence of a much better set of tools that are much smaller as well called Small Language Models (SLM sometimes) and also Agents that are chopping the problem into many small pieces. I also wanted to introduce Steven to the mix, we are going to have a rotating set of co-hosts and solo episodes as well so we can get the content out on time and not take 6 weeks for post productions. Thanks to the new intro and outro, that should be easier. I'm playing with these a bunch, but check out https://tongfamily.com and https://tne.ai where I hang out a bunch!
