Episode notes

Travis: I think the people who will be the prompt engineers and people that set up the stakes for the next round of innovation are the people who really get AI. He says it's about context, how do we talk to each other? If I don't know you, I say hello. My name is Travis. That's a wide context. But if I know you very intimately, I'm going to say, yo, what up my brother? Like, how you doing? And that's because I have a very, very narrow context of this conversation. "I saw a prompt engineer position that paid big bucks. Like big, big bucks," he said.

In this supper club episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk with Travis Neilson about his work at Google, YouTube music, and where AI is at now, and where it’s headed in the future.
