Stuff I'm doing now
Last updated Mar 10 2024 What's a "now page"?
- Spent the last six months writing a 12-week software development course for a company run by some friends of mine. I continue to help fine-tune the curriculum.
- Like many, I'm spending a lot of time using and thinking about AI, especially LLMs. GPT 4 and Claude 3 Opus are excellent, but I believe public and open access to really good open source models is as important as open source software in general, so I watch and use those closely.
- I'm building an AI powered code review, code tutor and classroom assistant platform, combining those two vocations.
- Made an AI text and voice based RPG open world adventure game, using a pair of GPT4 API agents with tool calls to create game progression, and manage goals, inventory and party members, read by an AI generated voice. Watch the videos: Medieval 1 & Medieval 2, and Sci-fi version. Feels like there's a lot of fun to be had in this space.
- Still working on music when I find the time, but don't tend to publish it these days. I mainly use Reaper as my DAW, Neural DSP guitar VSTs, Addictive Drums & Keys. It's a lot of fun.
- I occasionally live stream some of this work because it's great for keeping me focused as well as being a fun social experience (most of the time). I tend to keep it fairly anonymous, but have recently noticed using the camera leads to a lot more engagement.
- I've been reading dystopian science fiction. Finished 1984 recently (rough ending, jeez), and am working my way through Brave New World. Farenheit 451 next. Feel free to send me recommendations.
