One thing I love about using ChatGPT currently is switching between the default mode and agent mode. I love having it go into agent mode for more in depth research, and switching back to regular mode when I have a specific question or need it to do something with that research.

When faced with a large initiative w/a ton of ambiguity and unclear POV, I tend to write a UX Brief as a way to put down the initial experiential goals, approaches, behavioral hypotheses, known constraints that presumably will drive the biz goals. It is kind of a straw man to shape the UX POC.

One of the reasons I went to an AGI conference is because the media doesn’t do a great job of explaining the space. I wanted to talk to people doing research & understand what they were actually researching rather than over generalizations. There are different perspectives even within that community

Industry is going to start labeling solutions as AGI before academia has a critical mass of researchers agree on what is or isn’t AGI, and if we’ve achieved it. Even if it isn’t “true AGI”, it will be good enough to take a lot more jobs, but stupid enough in some areas for many to mock it still.

The focus of this morning at AGI-25 is the conversation around if LLMs can achieve AGI, and if you can modify LLMs with other tools and methods to get to AGI given their limitations. Varying opinions on it, but it’s taught me a lot about task-focused architecture.
