here's an obscure graph that actually holds a lot of meaning. Drawn on a napkin for me by Dr. Mary Shaw in a lunch break at a conference, drawn for her by a civil engineer discussing engineering projects.

The famed Stanford Smallville is officially open-source!
25 AI agents inhabit a digital Westworld, unaware that they are living in a simulation. They go to work, gossip, organize socials, make new friends, and even fall in love. Each has unique personality and backstory.
Smallville is among the most inspiring AI agent experiments in 2023. We often talk about a single LLM's emergent abilities, but multi-agent emergence could be way more complex and fascinating at scale. A population of AI can play out the evolution of an entire civilization.
Endless new possibilities ahead. Gaming will be the first to feel the impact.

Meanwhile, here’s how we taught GPT-4 to play Minecraft.
Now that I think about it, Kanzi’s training is the natural way. GPT is the alien way.
What if we set GPT-4 free in Minecraft? ⛏️
I’m excited to announce Voyager, the first lifelong learning agent that plays Minecraft purely in-context. Voyager continuously improves itself by writing, refining, committing, and retrieving *code* from a skill library.
GPT-4 unlocks a new paradigm: “training” is code execution rather than gradient descent. “Trained model” is a codebase of skills that Voyager iteratively composes, rather than matrices of floats. We are pushing no-gradient architecture to its limit.
Voyager rapidly becomes a seasoned explorer. In Minecraft, it obtains 3.3× more unique items, travels 2.3× longer distances, and unlocks key tech tree milestones up to 15.3× faster than prior methods.
We open-source everything. Let generalist agents emerge in Minecraft! Welcome you all to try today: voyager.minedojo.org/

In her 5th memo about exploring GenAI for software development, Birgitta Böckeler answers the frequently asked question if coding assistants are making the practice of Pair Programming obsolete. Spoiler alert: They don't.

Pro Tip: If it's difficult to bring business experts up to speed with #EventStorming, try Behavior-Driven Development / Specification by Example first. Most can relate to simple text scenarios in a #GivenWhenThen template. This initial exploration readies them for EventStorming.

1) Let's start with some history...
Matthew Benham graduated from the world-renowned University of Oxford in 1989 with a degree in Physics.
He spent the next 12 years working in finance, eventually being named a VP at Bank of America.
But in 2001, he decided to change careers.

If you agree with the conclusion, why would you bother arguing with the argument?
