@MatthewBerman I would have on @headinthebox - discuss fixed point iteration. Where it works with stochastic parrots and where we need more formal approaches.

@MatthewBerman No. We want a partial tutorial. No one has time for full tutorials anymore. Put it on TikTok style and dance, with split edits every 7 seconds.

@MatthewBerman My loops are: 1: Create tickets (Refactoring, bug fixes, imrovements) New features are manually created by me (Risky to automate for now) 2: Pick tickets and get them done 3: Review PRs, fix PRs, merge PRs 4: Daily Regression tests 5: Daily report (Analytics, crashes, etc)

@MatthewBerman Could looping become very expensive if you are using frontier modeling for the entire loop? Is there a system that uses local models for simpler tasks and frontier models for complex parts of the loop?

@MatthewBerman Hey Matthew, yes absolutely. I think you should make a full tutorial on loops. That would be very helpful.

@MatthewBerman Most people don't have use cases for loops

@MatthewBerman @headinthebox Scott Aaronson would also be good (as would @JeffDean) to discuss Amdahl's Law and the P == NC problem. In the limit this will block all LLMs no matter how powerful they get with their tools.

@MatthewBerman make sure it's a recursive loop video though
