Transcript context

…You are finally free. I agree with everything you just said. Go ahead. I completely agree, and yet the security implications are still terrifying to me. But yeah, no, I'm, I'm super excited. I'm going to, I have things I'm going to build on top of this, but I'm gonna be very careful about the, I think the reversibility. Especially like I want to build things that let people clean up data. Like have a conversation with your data to clean it. Because everyone who works with data says this spend 90% of the time on cleaning. They hate it. It's great. I want to solve that problem, but I want there to be an undue function precisely to, to protect against some of the things that could go wrong. There's a couple of things I wanted to say.

And while I, I do appreciate that again, this is like a great advancement. It's super cool. I don't know if I would call it a game changer because this has existed, right? Like this, this has happened in various, various frameworks, you know, blank chain guidance you know, other, other frameworks have guardrails in place. Yes, this, this looks like a very good implementation of this concept of having guardrails and being able to basically force the LLM to do what you want. And yes, it's very you know, It's, it's, it's beneficial to all of us that open AI that owns these models, actually put, put like some effort into fine tuning their own model so that this works really well. But I, I just, I just wanna curb the enthusiasm a little bit, right? To just say like, this isn't like, you know, earth shattering and like, hasn't, we haven't seen anything like this before. The same could be said about C Petito, right? When C released folks are like, well this is just prompting and this is just sending the same like back and forth, you know, text. And then Yeti was the first product that, that got to like a hundred million, whatever. Sure. Sure. Let, let's…
