For context, I have done a lot of hacking mostly in JS throughout the years, but more recently in no/low code land, though I would never consider myself a SWE. I’m formally trained in learning sciences and have experiences from product to change management. More recently, I’ve come to realize I’m just a creative, and entrepreneurial/tech/innovation work has been the most apparent vehicle to be creative at market prices. Now I’ve been using LLMs a ton, some programmatically, but mostly through chat UIs. It’s already clear to me how much more creative output I can achieve, but the drawbacks are also clear: everything starts to sound the same, context is hard to maintain, complex questions lack nuanced answers, etc. So I have basically 10 weeks of free time coming up and am thinking about how to deep dive in to AI. Should I develop more of an executive perspective on AI strategy? Should I take on a technical project like building a GraphRAG from unstructured creative data? Should I develop fluency in specific tools or frameworks? Curious and appreciative of any suggestions that HN can offer! |

The giant Saas LLM have millions of context now. Even 10,000 context will let you crunch through textbooks.

What's your goals?
Executive perspective can be good if you're the CIO i guess.
Graphrag? I dunno, is that what you want to do? What's that look like?
>Should I develop fluency in specific tools or frameworks?
Do you have a good video card? Have you gotten into any of this before?
Consider that you might need to spend $1000 on a video card to do what you want, but that's like 2-5 years subscription of an online saas.
You need to figure out your goals and purpose.
