Quotes

Charna Parkey:

"It's a balance. I think that's also what led us to some of the demographic based data science. Essentially, folks were making like event data into pre-aggregated data. And then they were trying to obscure it so much that you couldn't get back to the person. And so you're like, okay, what's their age and what's their gender? And you're like, that's not actually the most useful part of data science that can't predict behavior or intent or any of that. It throws out time as a component of the entire process, seasonality, everything. And so there just, there has to be a better way."

Fabiana Clemente:

"I have to say, that's a very beautiful way to put it. Hallucinations, I have to say. I never thought about that. And it makes a lot of sense. I do think, though, that in terms of LLMs, it's so language, it's so definitely, it sounds like we are getting very, very intelligent system, exactly, because language is very complex. And we know that was needed for the leap of humanity. I do think there are other, the sense of combining. Well, and here we enter in the multimodal kind of space. It's what's missing."
