I am a programmer by trade.

The Vergecast
How to train your data

I worked in tech for 20 years.

I built websites and apps and did some statistics work.

And at a certain point, I started hanging out in the forums where AI developers were hanging out and

talking about the work and, you know, they're talking about what data they're using to train these things.

The Vergecast

The Vergecast

Places like Allen AI

and illuther about what they're using to train.

And so that's been helpful.
