Anyone that thinks they are going to immediately generate large profits from what is a developing technology should not be managing anything, especially money. It's in development!
AI is literally just like a slot machine. It’s a catch phrase that’s being thrown around as a buzz word right now. Much like “the cloud”. Anyone who believes that there is a secret formula to automate returns in the stock market is a clown
So far, we’ve only seen Hebbia work in English. One of the big challenges with LLMs right now is that most of the custom work is being done in English and translation is being left to the likes of Google BERT or GPT 4 or more traditional machine translation tools that provide less satisfactory results for jargon and complex work situations.
This products is light years behind MS tools like Power App and Power automate and lets be honest eveything runs on Windows so having native connectivity with stuff like SharePoint, One Drive, Outlook is much more usfull
The Snowflake hack seems to have happened because a Snowflake client did not turn on multifactor authentication. Snowflake has traditionally made it easy for clients to do what they want, but I think this was a lesson that Snowflake has to set some limits and standards from a security perspective because it has its own brand at risk if it doesn’t. Even if it is the client’s fault, Snowflake will be the one blamed for it if there is a hack. And this hack shows a very basic security and access issue. The biggest weakness is still that employees are going to accidentally or maliciously give away their own usernames and passwords and access. - Hyoun Park
@@amalgaminsights2093 appreciate your comment so much. This hack issue for business will make new customers to chose snowflake as cloud vendor? Short term or long term. I am asking because the hack issue for normal consumer is not a big deal, but not sure for business customers
