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.
