In the ever-evolving world of Generative AI, LLMs and SLMs are at the forefront of innovation. With so much buzz around these technologies, it was a privilege to host Sridevi Vadapalli Head of Business Analytics at SitusAMC as part of AIgnite Talk on behalf of Cloud ERP ECF Data Science team. The session provided great insights, shedding light on the importance of choosing the right model for the right job. With rapid advancements in AI, staying informed about these distinctions is more important than ever. Sridevi has dived deep into their differences, best use cases, and the latest developments in the space. LLMs are powerful for complex tasks but require more resources and come with certain risks, while SLMs are efficient and better suited for specialized, quick operations. Choosing the right model depends on the task, balancing the strengths and limitations of each.

ON LIVING A HYBRID CAREER: Lessons from building a hybrid career across tech, design, and business with Prof. Hiroshi Ishii at the MIT Media Lab — with many lessons learned the old-fashioned hard way: Medium post: https://lnkd.in/gAmpt84G Final YouTube video: https://lnkd.in/gAPFrTtx (4 mins shorter than draft) Slides are on Media Lab page: https://lnkd.in/gJpKkeY8 --- Key hybrid-er takeaways: - The hybrid person can occupy many points-of-views because they can see across. - And doesn’t get to belong to a single one. That takes a lot of energy to sustain in life. - Being a hybrid means becoming aware of multiple tribes, making it harder to belong to just one. Hybridity fades with age sometimes. - Money rarely comes from doing what you love. Instead, monetize your skills to fund what you enjoy—don’t chase payment for your passions. - Being a hybrid is expensive. So earn earn earn!

Hard to have a #technobro #Ponzi scheme , as there are rarely take backs from death ☠️. Blessed be 😇 the Ems🚑 who save lives . I personally think that San Francisco is one of the most challenging environments on the face of the planet due to the hills in the traffic. Perhaps a plane state of #Chicago / #ORD #LosVegas(Mercedes-Benz) / #Phoenix / #PHX (#google ) would be a better place to unleash the science experiment. I do have to give credit to #GeneralMotors Mary Barra / #Cruise when there was a death ☠️. #GM / they actually shut down the whole program for a while, regrouped had an internal NTSB type board . https://lnkd.in/gdviG69Q As a #society, we need to enable the #disadvantaged , the 🧑‍🦯 #blind, the #wheelchair 🦼 bound, to have a greater sense of mobility, and the #selfdriving car is a noble engineering effort for all of man kind. #Volvo and #MercedesBenz once claimed full backing of self driving cars liability https://lnkd.in/gvewCbXq #CommaAI #obd2 piggy back , has been doing #neuralnetworks for a few years 2017+, unlike others #techbros , who just discovered neural networks in their latest #autonomous driving level two offering . https://lnkd.in/g5N8Es2T #Americans with disability act / #ADA See links below

Interesting comparison of human-based ride hailing services (UberX, Lyft) vs autonomous-driving one from Waymo. TLDR: Waymo is more expensive and a lot slower to get you to your destination. And this is in the city where Waymo vehicles and software are probably most optimized for. This isn't to bash on Waymo and other self-driving car platforms, which have made incredible progress. That being said, the problem is not solved and it will take many more billions and many more years to get autonomous driving services like this to be price and performance competitive to current ride hailing services. https://lnkd.in/eb4uZ2Um #autonomouscars #AI

The term “AI Hallucination” describes instances where LLMs generate incorrect, misleading, or nonsensical results. However, recent discussions in psychology suggest that “confabulation” is a more accurate term (https://lnkd.in/gvYwBGCk). While hallucination implies a false sensory experience, confabulation refers to the creation of false memories—more akin to what AI does. Understanding these nuances helps us harness AI’s potential while mitigating its shortcomings. At GumGum, we thoughtfully evaluate state-of-the-art technology with rigorous quantitative testing and meticulous manual spot-checking before incorporating it into our existing workflows. This ensures our datasets are curated to remove anomalies and yield top-performing models.

More and more of this will get into various markets and the burden of owning a car and having it parked kind of falls away. But how will the insurance markets deal with pricing this for any insured event. For example two driver less cars hit each other and create third party losses.
