Been thinking about the infra needed for human-machine teaming, I think a lot of knowledge from the field of business process management can be reimagined, just with powerful natural language capabilities.

  • Natural language becomes the API interface between humans and machines.
  • No need to formally describe the workflow. Just talk to it and let the LLM create/modify/delete these.
  • These workflows are essentially Turing-complete, distributed program where the job "processors" are people and bots. For eg: BPMN already supported branching, sequential processing, parallel processing etc.
  • Open-source Zapier-equivalent systems can be a good starting point for these.

Wondering if something like this šŸ’¬ #two-minute-week@2023-05-01T19:54:12.122Z matches the last bullet

[May 1st, 2023 12:54 PM] gabi.grinberg: Something I've been wanting to play with for a long white! A naive integration of OpenAI into https://www.flyde.dev|Flyde :sparkles:

It generates a file that implements a Flyde "Code Part" based on a prompt. Too slow and far from perfect, but hey.. it works :smile:

For workflows, we liked to talk about "Adjustable Autonomy and Mixed-Initiative Interaction". jeffreymbradshaw.net/#adjustable

šŸ“ ā€˜Godfather of AIā€™ Geoffrey Hinton quits Google and warns over dangers of misinformation

The neural network pioneer says dangers of chatbots were ā€˜quite scaryā€™ and warns they could be exploited by ā€˜bad actorsā€™

Itā€™s not can, itā€™s will, and itā€™s not will, they are. Weā€™ve already got professionals and students alike writing papers, doing science, and pushing their work and the language models simultaneously. Itā€™s the fastest paced directly-driven tech growth Iā€™ve ever experience. And the likes of Google, Apple, the rest of the normal culprits donā€™t like not being the gatekeepers of ā€œtop billedā€ software.

There was a ā€œleakā€ (pronounced ā€œpr approved for reproduction memoā€) by google that touches this too:

Perspective on AI from a music producer youtube.com/watch?v=-eAQOhDNLt4 (He reminds us of Napster and concludes that networks, like Paramount+, Apple Music, Spotify, etc. will simply side-step artists and music labels altogether)
