Episode 70 - Are Large Language Models the Evolution of Information Organization?

Byron Reese, noted futurist, author, entrepreneur, speaker, and general all-around thought leader, joins the Austin Forum Upload again to talk with Austin Forum executive director Jay Boisseau about the evolution of organizing and encoding information. Starting with DNA being the first stage of information organization, then brains, followed by language, writing, and printing presses, then the Internet, the web, and search engines, Byron talks about how large language models (LLMs) are the latest stage in the evolution of encoding information and organizing it.
