book: ChatGPT and the Future of AI

 ChatGPT and the Future of AI: The Deep Language Revolution: Sejnowski, Terrence J.: 9780262049252: Amazon.com: Books

An insightful exploration of Chat GPT and other advanced AI systems—how we got here, where we’re headed, and what it all means for how we interact with the world.

In ChatGPT and the Future of AI, the sequel to The Deep Learning Revolution, Terrence Sejnowski offers a nuanced exploration of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and what their future holds. How should we go about understanding LLMs? Do these language models truly understand what they are saying? Or is it possible that what appears to be intelligence in LLMs may be a mirror that merely reflects the intelligence of the interviewer? In this book, Sejnowski, a pioneer in computational approaches to understanding brain function, answers all our urgent questions about this astonishing new technology.

TypeSpec vs OpenAPI

Very clever: Using TypeScript inspired language  for describing APIs. From Microsoft.

 typespec.io

Describe your data up front and generate schemas, API specifications, client / server code, docs, and more.

API-First for developers

With TypeSpec, remove the handwritten files that slow you down,
and generate standards-compliant API schemas in seconds.


import "@typespec/http";
using TypeSpec.Http;
model Store {
name: string;
address: Address;
}
model Address {
street: string;
city: string;
}
@route("/stores")
interface Stores {
list(@query filter: string): Store[];
read(@path id: Store): Store;
}
