Today, we're joined by Dan Jeffries, founder and CEO of Kentauros AI to discuss the challenges currently faced by those developing advanced AI agents. We dig into how Dan defines agents and distinguishes them from other similar uses of LLM, explore various use cases for them, and dig into ways to create smarter agentic systems. Dan shared his “big brain, little brain, tool brain” approach to tackling real-world challenges in agents, the trade-offs in leveraging general-purpose vs. task-specific models, and his take on LLM reasoning. We also cover the way he thinks about model selection for agents, along with the need for new tools and platforms for deploying them. Finally, Dan emphasizes the importance of open source in advancing AI, shares the new products they're working on, and explores the future directions in the agentic era.

This week on the Futurists, Dan Jeffries, Managing Director of the AI Infrastructure Alliance and CIO at Stability.AI talks the doomsayers attacking ChatGPT, and the overblown fear over AI. Jeffries argues there are historical precedents for human adaptation to the disruptive technology of AI, but that learning to live with another intelligence might be a bit more challenging.
AI has finally come to the world of art, but what does that really mean for artists? Will it be the friend we've always wanted by eliminating monotonous tasks and speeding up workflows? Or will it turn out to be a foe and make digital artists obsolete? Joey sits down with Daniel Jeffries, CIO of Stability.ai, to discuss the real-world use cases of artificial intelligence and the moral, ethical, and philosophical ramifications of AI art. In addition to our regular podcast format, we also made this episode into a video, so you can see the work and tools as they're being discussed. Check it out on the School of Motion YouTube channel.

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io and Quantstamp.During CoinDesk's Tax Week, “Money Reimagined” hosts Sheila Warren and Michael Casey dive into the fears and debates around crypto during tax season. Last year's infrastructure bill called out crypto taxing directly, and in the time since, regulators have attempted to retrofit old rules and concepts to the completely new world of digital assets. Crypto technology has outpaced laws as regulators scramble to find ways to integrate crypto into reporting requirements. David Kemmerer, CoinLedger co-founder and CEO, joins to provide perspective on the challenges associated with crypto taxation, while author Dan Jeffries tackles the clash between reporting requirements and the privacy principles inherent to the crypto industry. A difference in taxation strategy could establish crypto-friendly geographic regions, attracting capital, talent and innovation to those states or countries. As decentralized organizations continue to evolve, will digital communities eventually create their own tax and regulatory structures for those who pass through their virtual spaces?-Nexo is a powerful, all-in-one crypto platform where you can securely store your crypto.

The cypherpunks dreamed of a world where a person's information would be revealed only if that individual so desired. A legendary group of cryptographers who came together in the 1990s, they fought back against government attempts to create backdoors to encryption and enforce key escrow. The cypherpunks laid the groundwork for the crypto revolution we see today. But, arguably, says the futurist Dan Jeffries, theirs is a dream deferred. Today, we're more watched and surveilled than ever and the dominant internet business models are based on a quid pro quo of “your data, their free-services.” Where do we go from here?In an interview for CoinDesk's “Opinionated” podcast, Jeffries argues that we need to get away from political messaging around privacy. That doesn't work: Not enough people care about privacy to pay for it and ensure it. Most of us don't care until intrusions of privacy become material to our well-being. Instead, we have to make privacy a part of the design of products, whether that's money transactions or informational ones. “Make privacy the plumbing, not the marketing tagline,” Jeffries says. Relatedly, the “Opinionated” team – Ben Schiller, Anna Baydakova and Danny Nelson – also discuss the failure of the Libra/Diem Facebook/Meta stablecoin project and look at what it means for the future of digital currency. Does its demise indicate that governments hold the cards when it comes to issuing currencies, or that open-source projects like Bitcoin or Ethereum are more likely to succeed than closed systems like Facebook's?

Open-source stacks enabled software to eat the world. Some of the most innovative companies in the world are working on building an open-source stack for AI. Dan Jeffries was there when the LAMP stack enabled software to eat the world. Perhaps you don't know, or remember, what the LAMP stack is, but it's actually pretty important. LAMP is an acronym made out of the initials of key open-source technologies used in software development - Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. These technologies were hotly debated back in the day. Today, they are so successful that the LAMP stack has become ubiquitous, invisible, and boring. AI, on the other hand, is a hot topic today. Just like the LAMP stack turned software development into a commodity and made it a bit boring (especially if you're not a professional software engineer), an AI stack should turn AI into a commodity - and make it a bit boring, except maybe for data engineers. This is what Dan Jeffries is out to do with the AI Infrastructure Alliance (AIIA). Article published on VentureBeat.

We trained a Transformer neural net on ambient music to see if a machine can compose with the great masters. Ambient is a soft, flowing, ethereal genre of music that I’ve loved for decades. There are all kinds of ambient, from white noise, to tracks that mimic the murmur of soft summer rain in a sprawling forest, but Dan favors ambient that weaves together environmental sounds and dreamy, wavelike melodies into a single, lush tapestry. Can machine learning ever hope to craft something so seemingly simple yet intricate? The answer is yes and it’s getting better and better with each passing year. It won’t be long before artists are co-composing with AI, using software that helps them weave their own masterpieces of sound. In this talk, we looked at how we did it. Along the way we’ll listen to some more awesome samples that worked really well and some that didn’t work as well as we hoped. You can download the model to play around with yourself. Dam also shows you an end-to-end machine learning pipeline, with downloadable containers that you can string together with ease to train a masterful music-making machine learning model on your own.

Expanding AI technology to the local languages of emerging markets presents huge challenges. Good data is scarce or non-existent. Users often have bandwidth or connectivity issues. Existing platforms target only a small number of high-resource languages. Our own Daniel Whitenack (data scientist at SIL International) and Dan Jeffries (from Pachyderm) discuss how these and related problems will only be solved when AI technology and resources from industry are combined with linguistic expertise from those on the ground working with local language communities. They have illustrated this approach as they work on pushing voice technology into emerging markets.

When his mysterious Uncle Frank offers him a place at a summer school for a select group of gifted teens, he jumps at it.But the school isn’t like any other, with classes in hacking, bike racing, psychological tricks and combat. Orca, the secretive organisation behind the school, needs fresh recruits…but for what? Ocean’s father co-founded Orca, and joining the organization feels like a way to honour his memory, as well as strengthen bonds with his strange uncle.Orca demands each teenager push themselves beyond the possible and in return each student gets an impressive salary, international travel and exhilarating field missions — a double life. There is one catch. Joining Orca is a life-binding commitment to support their ‘noble' cause. For Ocean, it’s the challenge in life he’s been looking for.Others might call it a trap.
CryptoTalk - Podcast brasileiro de Bitcoin, Blockchain e Criptoativos
Neste episódio, eu e Placido Netto vamos falar sobre o Bitcoin e um pouco sobre blockchain. Vamos abordar sobre sua criação, como funciona a mineração dos blocos, validação das transações, criptografia e segurança. O Bitcoin foi criado para se tornar uma moeda virtual mundial, sem depender de confiança, baseada em criptografia e totalmente descentralizada, ou seja, sem depender de nenhum órgão intermediador, como bancos ou governos.
