I think that AI today *is* useful, but it's important to remember that we are at the beginning of a long journey. Recognizing the hype and understanding the current technical limits is the only way we can move this technology forward cacm.acm.org/blogcacm/a-k...

If you're not using Gemini Deep Research and feeding that into NotebookLM, you're missing out on what I think is the best application of AI today. Incredible velocity when doing a range of tasks like learning, building content, and even writing code.

Been wondering about this Q so I asked some LLMs. Got a great answer (Sonnet 3.5): "does a MCP call from an LLM put the results into the LLM's context?" short answer: "Yes, when an MCP call is made, the results are returned to the LLM and become part of its current conversation context." #AI

Some holiday hoops

Don't infer that I don't think current AI tech is useful It definitely is! I've said it before and I'll say it again: AGI is still *at least* 100 years away

Asked Google Gemini this Q: if my disk copies at 250 mb per second how long would it take to transfer 1 tb And y'all think AGI is 5 years away? 🤣

It is always fun and educational when @venkats.bsky.social speaks at @atlantajug.bsky.social / @devnexus.bsky.social!
