Welcome to syntax, the podcast with the tastiest AI treats out there. Today we are going to do

0:18.4

in sort of an update show. Maybe three or four months ago, maybe three months ago, we did

0:23.7

a couple shows on AI, machine learning, you as a developer, how you can use all these types of

1:50.2

1:57.8

It was just like a whew and everything went into slow motion. And next thing you know, paint

2:03.5
