We have a wild, ADHD roller coaster looping through embeddings, vectors, RAG, and LLMs. Make sure to keep your hands and arms inside the pod for this one.

Some of you might know David as a co-founder of Tailscale. In this episode we're talking about a new kind of cloud he's building at exe.dev.

We dive deep into why the cloud needs a reset and how integrating AI can be more than just a chat bot. David Crawshaw on Bluesky exe.dev exe.dev Discond community
