BEST MOMENTS

"You are literally a prompt engineer. You have created the box."

"We like to write, but we also are good readers. We want to lead by example, but we also are good at reading, hearing what someone's challenges are, what their problems are. And ultimately we're in the problem solving business.”

"We’ve built a workforce pyramid, so there's certain work that can be done if you have kind of expertise at a wide level." 

"I've been in AI for about, you know, 25 years in different ways."
