Tell us three things: 1. What you do (job, industry, student, career-changer, whatever) 2. What brought you to Clief Notes 3. One thing you're trying to figure out right now related to computing or AI I'll respond to every single one. And read each other's intros too because the person who's stuck on the same problem as you might already be in this thread. I'll go first I am Jake, I have been working in tech for 15 Years, building with Generative AI for 3 Years straight now! Excited to teach and learn! That's it. Simple, scannable, gives you data on who's joining and what they need, and keeps the feed clear for content that retains people past week one.

For those of you who missed it check it out!

I didn’t expect to end up on a Friday night call, but I’m really glad I joined. Thanks @Jake Van Clief for putting the session on. We spoke to @Joseph Fioramonti about Constellations, not stars in the sky, but dots on a screen. What I love about the idea is how simple the interaction is, people just place dots. However it captures something interesting: human intuition at scale. It feels like a really elegant example of using AI for what it’s actually great at: pattern recognition. Instead of asking AI to interpret everything itself, you let humans provide the signal and then use AI to find the patterns across that data. That balance between human input and machine analysis is fascinating. I imagine something like this being powerful during company rebrands or culture shifts, where employees contribute signals about what feels “true” to the company and what doesn’t. The AI layer could then reveal patterns leadership might never see through traditional surveys or workshops. What would happen if you ran the same exercise across two different enterprise companies with strong brand identities? Would the patterns cluster differently depending on culture, industry, or internal values? Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for sharing it tonight. Its a really interesting idea that showcases putting the right skill sets on the right part of the tasks!

Hey! My name's Shirsho, working and experimenting with AI since 2022 (before ChatGPT came out, when it was called openAI playground, had the worst UI, a few buttons and a huge white box, sent an image below). Within AI, I work and love experimenting with everything, from Chatbots, Voice Agents, AI Agents, to Custom Dashboards, SaaS dev, fine tuning, frameworks and systems, agentic systems. All those fancy words and a few more fields. I fell in love with AI towards the end of 2022/ 2023 Q1. Right now I'm trying to build out my own PicoClaw set up that'd be a full system and have all those cool things like self managing multi agent workflows, dashboards the AI use, analyzing real world news and so much more. It does feel like quite a challenge because it took me like 2 hours just to change the openrouter model due to the lack of documentation and online resources, but who doesn't love sitting in front of any AI product and wondering what to do for 4 hours. Anyways, that's me, what about you?

David had a great Idea!
