AI's Next Frontier // MLOps Podcast #277 with Aditya Naganath, Principal at Kleiner Perkins.

// Abstract

LLMs have ushered in an unmistakable supercycle in the world of technology. The low-hanging use cases have largely been picked off. The next frontier will be AI coworkers who sit alongside knowledge workers, doing work side by side. At the infrastructure level, one of the most important primitives invented by man - the data center- is being fundamentally rethought in this new wave.
