00:09:02 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): There is no Q&A session tonight as this will be the club's regular monthly meeting. if you have questions for next week, or shares that you wish to present, send the details to SuggestionBox@opcug.ca 00:11:20 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: Welcome to all members and guests!

If you want to join, see https://opcug.ca/join-or-renew/ 00:14:26 Margery: No, must be someone else. 00:29:03 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): Is any work being carried out on incorporating both training and use in a LLM? 00:29:51 Stew Bruce: I was reading a Taiwanese news site today that talked about a LLM called Lingo Bagel which was translating Chinese financial, medical etc, reports into English with terrific results. 00:32:42 Art Hunter: I think this means that you have to update the LLM from time to time to keep it current. 00:33:21 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): Are small language models, e.g. specific to Python programming, derived from a general LLM or do they have to be trained on just Python related data? 00:44:57 KWG: 1) Who is funding all of this work/research 2) What sites, people, etc. does Brett follow/consult to current? 00:49:03 KWG: "stay" current. AI removed a word...heehee 00:51:26 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): What does Brett think about chatbots that provide references for their answers vs. this that do not? 00:52:45 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): ...those that do not? [Finger issue not AI !) 00:54:48 Stew Bruce: The AI generated Pope pic had him holding a water bottle. Holy water for the bad AI's??? :) 01:01:07 KWG: What is the energy consumption? 01:01:20 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): If an image generator is trained on millions of images why does it create an image of a human hand with six fingers? 01:07:27 KWG: Thoughts on "Grok" by Musk? 01:14:45 Stew Bruce: AI will never make a good home brew. 01:15:16 Alan German (OPCUG Treasurer): How long before AI becomes reliably autonomous? 01:28:28 Eldon Gaw: One thing I have not heard mentioned is the limits of time and strength considering the power supplies in all of these robotic devices 01:29:08 Stew Bruce: AI is just another tool. Good, bad, whatever, all depends on the user. 01:29:28 E O'Driscoll: Great presentation! 01:29:29 Denis Therrien: Wow. Great . Merci! 01:29:45 Dennis Gruending: Thank you.

Wow 💗I really didn't know any of this stuff!!
