Another great session with Bill Price talking about Silent Sufferers and the future of Customer-Managed Relationships (which is way more accurate than CRM or Customer Service)

Another test live show, but this time with some other interesting content. How I use Claude to do research

This was more of a test podcast than anything else, where we are now streaming on LinkedIn Live, YouTube Live, and Twitch with rebroadcast on LinkedIn, YouTube, and the Podcast world.

But Seb does a good job talking about what it's like for someone in college now with Generative AI everywhere

OK, an oldie but goodie, this is from way back in May 2025 where we see how good our predictions really were back then.

Steve and Rich had a long chat way back in February and I completely forgot to make it a podcast, so here goes, we will be catching up on episodes for the last six months, so sorry about that!

Life has been crazh busy!

Another great session. Thoughts on AI in 2024 and how well we did with predictions, then a look at the new innovations of 2025 and what's in store. See https://tongfamily.com/2025/01/26/pod-london-ai-hub-january-13-2025/ for more details

There's been a hiatus mainly because we've been shipping products, but more because I lost all my skills at making new videos. I was stuck for a long time on Drop Zones and doing a better intro and outro, but that's a digression for Final Cut Pro nerds.

In this episode, we cover the latest trends as of August 8, 2024, on AI and the latest trends. The big news has been the shipment of so many Large Language Models (LLMs) and what it means for AI which is way more choice and confusion.

Plus the emergence of a much better set of tools that are much smaller as well called Small Language Models (SLM sometimes) and also Agents that are chopping the problem into many small pieces.

I also wanted to introduce Steven to the mix, we are going to have a rotating set of co-hosts and solo episodes as well so we can get the content out on time and not take 6 weeks for post productions. Thanks to the new intro and outro, that should be easier. I'm playing with these a bunch, but check out https://tongfamily.com and https://tne.ai where I hang out a bunch!

This is another sort of nerdy side note. If anyone is still watching, this section is just to give intuition on the basics of the hardware. There are lots of assumptions about GPUs and CPUs that I wanted to make sure people understood.But the basics are that CPUs are tuned for lots of branches and different workflows, while GPUs are tuned for lots of the same things like matric math. And because they are so fast, most of the job of the computer folks is "feeding the beast". That is caching the most frequently used information so they don't have to wait. There are some errors I think in the levels of the CPU and GPU performance particularly in the cache performance as it is not very clear how this works and the results of course vary depending on the models of processors, so these are all approximations. Put in comments better sources. I have all the sources listed in a spreadsheet that is part of this. We are happy to send this to anyone who wants the source data. I'll fix these errors in later editions (as I'm obsessive that way)

.Also, I'm quite proud of the HDR mix, using the latest OBS settings, producing in HDR in Final Cut Pro, and adjusting the video scope levels helps. The audio is a little hot and I'm sorry about that, I'll turn it down next time, I stoo much time in the red. My Scarlett needs to about 1 O'clock and it works.
