AI is not magic. It's just math.
A non-technical breakdown of how ChatGPT actually works
One of the cardinal rules of investing is:
If it’s too good to be true — it probably is.
When it comes to AI, I don’t think it falls in the “too good to be true” category.
Yet.
But it’s damn good.
And I use it all the time.
Yet I don’t want to be blind and naive about its limitations.
And while I want to understand what is happening under the hood — I have no appetite for the super technical details.
Andrej Karpathy was on the founding team of OpenAI and has the most incredible video primer on How LLMs work. However, it’s 3 hours and 30 minutes long and I don’t think most people will put in the work.
(Your loss.)
But it inspired me to use Karpathy’s framework to explain to my smart (and non-technical) professionals what’s really happening when you engage with ChatGPT.
