How I Fly - Yoko Li
Blog post from Fly.io
In this episode of "How I Fly," the host interviews Yoko Li, an investment partner at A16Z and open-source AI developer. They discuss various exciting AI projects that Yoko has worked on, such as AI Town, a virtual town populated by AI agents that interact with each other, and AI Tamago, a virtual pet implemented using large language models. Yoko also talks about the Local AI Starter Kit, which simplifies setting up document search and retrieval-augmented generation systems. They discuss the challenges of working with large language models, including hallucinations and unpredictable outputs, as well as workarounds like using code-generating models or context-free grammars to guide output. Yoko emphasizes that AI can be used for generating boilerplate content or experimenting with new ideas, but it is not a replacement for human creativity.
