The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 59 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 1 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
AWS VP: GenAI apps will chain multiple models and data connectors
“The way these generative AI applications are going to be built is actually like series of things chained together. Some of it is model inference. Some of it is actually workflows and whatnot. And that's why that pattern is going to be important. And they are g…”

Wood: Open-source AI models require substantial deployment infrastructure and tooling
“Lama II is a excellent, very capable model, but there is a long way to go from having the model weights which are what comprises the neural network to actually building out an artificial intelligence system. And just having the model weights is super useful, b…”
