Show Notes
In this one year anniversary episode of the podcast, your show hosts look back on what they have learned and observed over the past year. They made the following observations:
Reflection on a year of LLM development: The hosts discuss how the LLM ecosystem has rapidly evolved over the past year, moving from initial hype to a focus on practical applications with demonstrable ROI.
Changes in prompt engineering: They note a shift from instruction-based prompting to example-based prompting, finding the latter more reliable.
Impact on software development: LLMs have significantly increased productivity and are changing how software is architected and developed, making previously complex tasks much simpler and faster to implement.
Shifting skill requirements: The hosts predict that soft skills will become more valuable for engineers, while specific programming language knowledge may become less crucial due to AI assistance.
Evolving perspectives: Both hosts describe how their views on LLMs have changed, moving from initial skepticism to greater optimism about the technology's potential and impact.
Future of the field: They emphasize the transformative nature of LLMs on the entire field of computer science and encourage newcomers to stick with it, predicting that those who do will become the experts shaping the future of technology.

In this episode of Prompt Desk, hosts Bradley Arsenault and Justin Macorin dive into the evolving landscape of AI applications. They explore the shift from full automation dreams to the reality of human-AI collaboration, discussing why guided experiences are proving more effective than autonomous systems. The hosts share insights on designing AI interfaces, managing error rates, and the importance of human oversight in complex AI tasks. Whether you're an AI enthusiast, developer, or business leader, this episode offers valuable perspectives on harnessing the power of large language models while avoiding common pitfalls. Join Bradley and Justin as they unpack the challenges and opportunities in creating reliable, user-friendly AI applications that truly augment human capabilities.
In this episode of The Prompt Desk podcast, hosts Bradley Arsenault and Justin Macorin dive deep into the world of fine-tuning large language models. They discuss:
Have you ever tried to run a prompt in another language and gotten completely different results? It is a sad truth that our LLM models continue to work best in English. It is something that will probably always remain true because of the dominance of the English language, which ensures that a disproportionate amount of the worlds data is found in English.
In this episode, AI experts Bradley Arsenault and Justin Macon dive deep into the challenges and best practices for safely executing code generated by large language models in a production environment. They discuss key security considerations, containerization techniques, static/dynamic code analysis, and error handling - providing valuable insights for anyone looking to leverage the power of LLMs while mitigating the risks of abuse by AI hackers.
