Oh hey - I wrote this. Thanks for sharing. My goal was explaining to non-technical businesspeople what AI is actively being used for, so they can identify places to build or buy within their own organizations.

Just looked at the transcription but it looks like a very good general public summary of all the major terms/concepts/bricks of AI.

Especially with the slides in the transcription.

A link to keep to share with beginners that would be curious about the field I think.

no mention of Qdrant in vector databases? Huh?

Sorry I hadn’t heard of this. It’s just my ignorance. I’ll take a look and consider editing it in.

Oh come on, you can't just invalidate the virtue of the entire article (which is, for the intended audience, is very good, btw.) simply because it fails to mention some tool. Qdrant is not even the "de facto" standard choice; the vector database landscape is still evolving. Pinecone, Milvus, Faiss, and Vespa are also used, and not all of them were mentioned either.

Please, don't complain just for the sake of it. Offer constructive criticism. We are all here to get better at something and find knowledge, not for flexing our egos.
