"Great interview!"
Thank you for this, it was a great listen. I used to brew kefir and would love to start doing it again. At one of my former jobs there were a few people who made kefir so we could get each other fresh grains all the time, but without a local group it can be hard.

"LLMs are great if you use them right"
Great show. I've been using LLMs for work lately, and they are great at certain activities, as long as you don't expect them to act like humans with common sense. There are certain NLP tasks like document Q&A that were near impossible before LLMs that are a few lines of code now.
For a lay-person interacting with Bard, ChatGPT, etc. I recommend the following sites for understanding how to ask LLMs good prompts:
