I recently gave a presentation at ARIA as part of Ink & Switch's London event about Building new tools for Science. I talked about GeistFabrik and the lessons I've learned whilst using AI to help me build it.
The presentation is embedded below:
GeistFabrik is part of a bunch of projects I'm building to figure out new ways of building software with LLMs. I'm hoping to figure out how we keep the best of what we have and still take advantage of the strengths of the new thing whilst mitigating the weaknesses. For example at the event I was inspired by one of the other presentations to start exploring how sentiment analysis could improve GeistFabrik. You can see my research and specification steps over on Github. This is the kind of work that's now cheap enough (in terms of my time and the cost of tokens) that the relative Return On Ambition is so high that I have to pursue it.
