Are you a critical thinker ready to dive into AI? Welcome to The Generative AI Podcast: Super Prompt. Join me, Tony Wan, an ex Silicon Valley executive, as we 'unhype the hype'  of AI via illuminating conversations with top engineers and entrepreneurs, complemented by in-depth solo episodes. Our goal? To make it almost unnecessary to send a cybernetic organism back in time to fix things. Tailored for the technically-minded and discerningly skeptical, our discussions cover Large Language Models (LLMs) and neural networks to machine learning, multi-modal systems, and autonomous vehicles. We also delve into the latest breakthroughs from leaders like OpenAI's chatGPT, Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude, Meta's Llama, along with the startup ecosystem. Together, let’s stay ahead of generative AI, BEFORE it asks for your clothes… your boots…. and your motorcycle!

    Power and Responsibility of Large Language Models | Safety & Ethics | OpenAI Model Spec + RLHF | Anthropic Constitutional AI | Episode 27

    Power and Responsibility of Large Language Models | Safety & Ethics | OpenAI Model Spec + RLHF | Anthropic Constitutional AI | Episode 27

    With great power comes great responsibility. How do Open AI, Anthropic, and Meta implement safety and ethics? As large language models (LLMs) get larger, the potential for using them for nefarious purposes looms larger as well. Anthropic uses Constitutional AI, while OpenAI uses a model spec, combined with RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback). Not to be confused with ROFL (Rolling On the Floor Laughing). Tune into this episode to learn how leading AI companies use their Spidey po...
