So he was one of the first folks at Google Brain.
He was the first Google Brain class, actually.
And then he worked at Meta after that.
And we became really good friends.
We lived together for a while.
And he at the time was trying to kind of push LLMs at Meta, like pretty, pretty hard.
And at some point I was like, can you just like, what is an LLM?
Can you show me one of these things?
And what was available at the time was a public access point API to GPT-3.
This is like early 2022, right?
And so everyone had access to this.
This was very public, very confused at why not more people use this in like other industries or just were talking about it.
And I started messing around with it.
And the first thing I actually did with it was I used it to, like, help run a Dungeons & Dragons game.
It was, like, the first thing.
I was actually really good at that.
And I used it for that at first, and then I was on a pro bono case, and it was for landlord-tenant law.
And I don't know anything about landlord-tenant law, or, like, I learned a little bit in law school, but I didn't remember it.
I started using it to do very basic, like, here's a fact pattern, here's a statute in California,
you know, apply this fact pattern to the same statute or the statute to the fact pattern.
