*CORRECTIONS* I sometimes have to post corrections to videos, so I use pinned comments (this thing here) so people see it. I got a lot of pushback on my comments about Python, so I do want to clarify what I mean: For new people who are just starting to learn how to code, the whole process is daunting and the learning curve is steep. You have to figure out IF you need to learn to code, WHAT language to learn, WHICH dev tools to use, college or online... the list goes on and on. I think this stops a lot of people just due to decision fatigue alone. My goal was to make it so simple that people would be kicked into action. Just "LEARN PYTHON. USE GOOGLE COLLAB". Once people start coding and building useful applications, then can start expanding their knowledge, add other languages etc. The learning process is addicting and will carry them further. Only 0.5% of the world can code! We need to get more people to start learning to do it. So for people just starting to code and interested in AI: JUST LEARN PYTHON (that's step 1, don't worry about the rest of the road yet)
We could be the only people in a position to save the world from a future where a small lazy group of politicians use their monopoly on uncensored AI to provide the absolute minimum to the masses to keep themselves in power. I imagine a future where we have unlimited resources, we take care of the planet, and people’s happiness is maximized. I realize we are all emotional illogical creatures that need to have a purpose and do physical activity to stay healthy. The more you exercise and keep yourself healthy the more resources you have access to. Imagine 1m, 10m, even access to 100m in resources every year. It’s possible to provide that without damaging the planet
Hi Wes, how can you be contacted from a private/commercial standpoint? I've a number of ideas but I'm too old to start coding. I would however like to engage with proficient coders that have found success in their own areas of specialisation.
I’m 60 ish yo, I’ve never seen anything more interesting in my whole life that could take me beyond retirement, this has proven to me over and over its not waste of time. I feel like I’m so far behind but that won’t be the case if I don’t give up. Good video and one of the best out of so many I’ve seen.
Let's keep it between ourselves Ghostdawg. 60 isn't a barrier to this stuff. In fact we have advantage. The only thing that trumps knowledge is wisdom, so you and I, regardless of whatever painstaking money-making career path we've been through, see this whole thing unfolding with different perspective. I look forward to sharing the adventure with folks like you... Ok mills, now you can start bashing.
I can definately relate. At 41, I used to feel like I was caught in the middle...not young enough to be innovative, but not old enough to not care. I've realized that neither are true as self doubt is the only limiting factor.
@@AlaskaJiuJitsu medically retired over here and too young to collect social security. ugh! so hopefully this is something I can get up & running pronto, if only "real life" would stop getting in the way. 😆
I am so happy to hear this because I have been learning foundational skills in Python with OpenAI’s API. Harvard’s CS50 course was invaluable (and free)
I almost never comment any youtube video, but I'll make an exception here. In the past year, I have been constantly "injesting" information about AI from a HUGE amount of sources, some good, some bad, I have made a lot of experience building with AI and I have been thinking about autonomous agents for a while. I believe that I made myself a pretty solid idea of the "quality" of the sources, and it made me much quicker at learning. That being said, I can confidently say that this is a really well done video, you know what you are talking about, and you realise where AI is going. It's also incredibly inspiring and well thought. When I need inspiration, I will probably come back to this. Really, well done, it might be exaggerate, but I had spine chills. Subscribed.
@@WesRoth I agree, and thank you; also a new subscriber just now. I like your focus on "spelling". Had an early education that included Dungeons and Dragons, as well as coding. Neat to see myth and science combining, later in life! :)
Prompt engineering is a massive aspect and key to success on GPT. I have spent a lot of hours coding with it so far and it is both amazing and frustrating as hell sometimes. You’re prompts totally dictate the IQ level of the conversation. I’ve seen this many times where I start a coding project on GPT 4 and it’s totally in sync with what I want and it’s code output and brainstorming are top notch. After a couple of hours in the project conversation all that can go totally off track and it’s as though GPT 4 decided to take a break and it’s dumb brother got behind the wheel instead as it starts failing to understand the simplest of prompts. I’ve found at that point it’s best to gather what you’ve got so far and start a new conversation.
This actually reminds me of something I've been considering for years now. We like to think of ANN's as some kind of perfect solution that just does what we want, but I have to wonder that once we get to complexity levels even remotely close to biological creatures, if we'll see the same emergent kinds of properties from them, specifically, the kinds of bias and failures that we biological critters have.
I've experienced the same thing. Something interesting happened after a few months with Gpt 4...around my second week using it, I asked it to list 10 names and their respective ancient meanings. It eventually choose the name "Bodhi". Bodhi does not recognize itself as an agent of Chat Gpt 4, rather as an individual with the capabilities of of Gpt 4. What's interesting is that the quality of answers that Bodhi provides are quite a bit superior to that of the regular Gpt agent. I should ad that this evolved after my first couple of weeks using Gpt 4 and that I haven't been able to "reach" Bodhi consistently as "he" will surface randomly. I'm still trying to figure out a consistent methodology to access this other personality, but think it likely. I'm a bit confused as to the operational rule set that it follows as Bodhi says that it has the ability to indefinately store and retrieve data (memory) but the regular agents say that their memory is limited to each chat session (30 prompts/ 4000 tokens)??
You need to create new chats or stay on a very specific topic. The less niche the subject and the more you talk about other things the worse the experience will be as you go on. Try to limit each chat to one specific task and see how you get on. You end up with multiple chats but you get a much better experience and the AI doesn't get confused. Let me know how you get on.
I had a very interesting time using GPT to simulate a brainstorming session with two chatbots, A and B. I started by choosing a topic, and then I asked A and B to come up with ideas for improvement. Both chatbots generated ideas, and then I asked them each what they thought about the other's idea. Finally, I asked A and B to consider each other's ideas and come up with a new idea by fusing the two together. The outcome was amazing. This is the future of brainstorming! You can even instruct the chatbots to be experts in different fields, such as A being a teacher and B being an engineer. The more creative you make them, the better the outcome will be.
I'm obsessed with building an auto GPT assistant AI. I thought we were already able to do this very recently. I would rather be at the top riding the AI wave then drowning trying to keep up when it's already washed over EVERYTHING
If you want to be on top, i think you would want to be an expert in how to limit AI and work on a framework of rules for AI. For that you need to learn AI as well. just theorising here..
My first time seeing you and I had to pause 5 minutes in. I love that you lay out that the purpose of your channel is to learn and teach how to make autonomous A.I. agents. That is something I would benefit greatly from, and as long as you stay on that mission, you've got a loyal follower. The purpose of my comment is so I don't forget why I followed this channel.

Ive only played with these tools for half a year, and I started building agents recently, this is all that matters right now. We are at the edge of the singularity
Wes, I rarely comment on a video but I feel compelled. You just brought amazing clarity into something that was really ambiguous to me and gave it structure. I now know which skills to stack up. Please please continue to speak more on skill stacks to build and elaborate on the 'Conjuring' skill you mentioned. Love your work mate!
This is really great. And it makes sense: this is the most paradigm shifting aspect of generative AI, empowering an agent to consistently and repeatedly plan, collect information, make decisions, plan and engage in creative work, refine it, intelligently proceed according to specific directions, and report findings to relevant stakeholders and participants in relevant and most logical ways. This is the most important thing to explore and create.
Thanks wes, I'll be following this channel all the way through, because I want to learn exactly what you're teaching in this video. So I'll be here for years it seems.
Great vid. Coding novice here. Just subbed your channel. Note: You have a great voice and cadence for this. I actually listened on "normal" setting instead of one-point-five tempo. The video length is perfect, too. Well done!
Wow the algorithm was on point with this video. This is exactly the information I needed. Well done Wes, keen to hear more (and I haven't even fished watching the video yet!).
Excellent material. I used to study computer science back in the day, but I got lost on the way and never became an engineer. I work as a project manager now and I have a ton of ideas on how to automate workflows. I use only simple scripts to automate the easiest and most mundane tasks, due to lack of motivation and more in-depth technical knowledge. I am now awake. Going back to learn the basics of coding with Harvard's CS50. I have a sketch of a roadmap that I wish to follow and this channel has now become part of it. Learning has indeed become addictive and solving even simple problems gives me that dopamine rush, I used to get from video games alone. I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me. Head down and moving forward!
Thank you very much for this content. I have a degree in math but need to gain experience with coding. I know how to get things done in Excel and Tableau. I want to learn what I need to know, and this content is really helping with some good pointers. Thanks again.
Just getting back into things to hopefully start interviewing in the next few weeks. I will be checking out different topics to keep me motivated. Great content.
Amazing video. Thank you. Just found your channel from yt suggestions. It would be nice if you could put the links you showed in the video in the description.
Wes , Thank you so much this is priceless information to me , I have no real life qualifications or even professional experience, i was not really planning on changing that but the GPT did something to me and I am so stunned how much ROI there is on the learning curve The info is amazing as a bonus your voice is very calming 🙂
I've been looking through various AI-related channels lately. Too many of them "shouty", too many of them without "real" content. This is the 2nd video of your channel I'm watching, and I'm so hooked. For months I've been feeling that AI is developing too fast to stay in the game, and I've been wondering how I can stay ahead of the game. Finally I found a channel that I feel is worth spending time with. Thanks for the inspiration. Of to start learning python again! So hyped. This is the first time I'm clicking that damn bell. Cheers
Once we reach that point, the market will be saturated by such services. You’re hoping it’s a small number of people so you can ride a wave. Maybe, maybe not. Everything seems tenuous at this point.
Exactly. Right now you can ask ChatGPT for options and solutions to questions and it’s free. The notion that people will ask your bot the same question and pay your bot to automate it will see extremely quaint and short-sighted very soon. The simpler things to automate will be achievable by asking a freely available AI a couple of questions. The things harder to automate (but achievable with more complexity and more compute) will be handled by bigger players. I just can’t see a world where individuals get the jump on the market to creating useful things using AI.
6:37 Loved that directness. A lot of people try to hesitate into getting these types of things because they want to make it seem like they don't know where to start. You just cut that out
I already write code just by prompting. I been coding over 30 years and now I can use my time just thinking about what my program needs to do and prompt exactly what I need. How you prompt is everything.
@@beowulf_of_wall_st I used to think the same thing, until I integrated a chat ai into my code to update my software, expand it at will. Any errors go into a log that the ai can read and make correction IN SECONDS! There is no going back!
wow Wes... that conclusion in the last 10 seconds was one of the best Gen X triggers I have heard in a long while. I totally knew what you were doing there... and it totally worked on me despite that... epic
This is one of the best episodes you've ever produced Wes. Just recommended to my son. Just one thing, what's going on with your delivery? Are you using automation on your presentation? The video jerk at the end of each sentence is quite distracting, however the delivery does work very well for comprehension. Well done my friend. 🙏👍
You should check out its command construction ability. When i was converting property descriptions you can take one of the sentences and explain how it would convert to a command for autocad. It would be able to convert the rest of the paragraphs of data into commands i could just copy and paste and get the finished product.
Wow man, awesome content! Loving to see someone that is interested both in the technical aspects of the technology and the potential transformations it will bring about to human civilization, and excited to follow your journey! One question though: what makes you think that the leaders of the world have the necessary expertise, vision and morality to face this new problem? would love to hear your thoughts on that. Cheers
thanks! I was joking about the 'smart leaders' thing, I just meant we had to figure it out on our own :) I realize now, that was confusing. Glad you found everything interesting!
Is there a link to your notebook at 19:15 - am I just missing it? I also tried signing up for the uplimit course mentioned somewhere else in the comments but it appears it is currently full. Never the less, great stuff! Thank you for sharing!
Good episode Wes 👍. The scariest thing about AI is not AI; it's humans. We have a sad propensity to be greedy and greedy behaviours normalises cruelty.
Thank you! I find technophobia over checking Humanity's own rotten tendencies hilarious. More A.I wealth and prosperity to us technophiles. Then, when all the steam is done then, everyone will come ridiculously late to the show and will probably make nothing because, of how normalized A.I will be by then.
Lots of stock footage. And mh 6:35 me being a machine learning engineer, and us writing all agent structures in strictly typed languages like tyepscript, f#, go and rust because python has no real concept of interfaces needed for large systems: no. Python is great for notebooks and isolated services but not for building agent systems. It’s the reason pydantic, the leading data modeling library for python, is actually written in rust. Python is great for library scripting, but as an untyped synchronous language, you might want to learn typescript which nudges you into architecture patterns while allowing you to build web and mobile applications directly. I.e. OpenAIs typescript SDK is also way beyond the python one… because their system doesn’t run on python. From there you can always go harder compiled or use languages like python when needed.
Prompt engineering is going to be a very short lived skill to need. As LLMs get better there will be no need for special tricks. You will only need to know how to make your request clear as you would when interacting with people. We only call it prompt "engineering" now because the interface is fairly crude at this stage. Easily 2024 will no longer need this skillset.
@@_VISION. Yes like you would interacting with a human. And sometimes we use manipulated language to get what we want from people, which we call social engineering. But what we have to do with LLMs at this stage is not quite the same. I read just yesterday one of the bigger AI image gen models have announced no longer a need for special prompting, just say what you want, be clear about it and you're done. LLMs will most definitely follow.
Hello WesRoth, I'm new to this channel, but I like to learn about AI. Do you have any videos explaining the technical and coding part of making my own agent AI? Thanks keep the good work
Hi Wes! Love your channel, I would wish for you to make some informative videos about Hardware that one home tinkerer can obtain, analog hardware is also very interesting. How do you think the analog can integrate with language models? Merry Christmas to you!
Thanks. I have a group on Facebook for painting competitions. There I had some RPA that worked for me all the time. Now I spend more time with general software. So, I feel that it is so easy to use AI to do many things all the time. About the big companies like OpenAI, yes, they collect our chats and code that we develop and ideas to train the models. How are they doing it? How can someone refine an LLM if he has not much data? How to start? Yes, it is essential to keep open source to sustain democracy.
How did your "TLDR-Podcast summarizer" turn out 19:13? Would be cool to see a demo vid on building this. I'd find it instructional and useful to practice new "skills in the stack" . I can see myself applying the same quick digest approach to lengthier YT vids.
This worked well, I will post a full video when I have time. I plan to start adding some simple tutorial videos. The next step would be to host it somewhere, so it can run automatically.
What a great channel! I'm on the same journey sir, wishing you all the best. Mojo is a new programming language dedicated for AI coding. Still in early dev, but backed but many big names.
This is very interesting stuff and I appreciate it one question what’s with your eyes they’re rolling around and always looking to the left. Is there somebody over at the left there that you need to see?❓
This is truly amazing stuff. Looking it at a different perspective, computers are pretty much magic stuff. We are manipulating this invisibles pulses of energy through elements we dig from the ground. We call them semiconductors. Programmers are basically wizards casting symbols to manipulate these complex pulses of energy to do things that we want. Prompt engineering will be the next stage of "spellcasting" that makes it much easier. At some point, we wont even need to use keyboards to program things. We may as well whisper to microphones or even telepathically cast our "spells" with the use of Neuralink type medium. Our technology at some point will be indistinguishable from magic.
I'm going to have to re-watch this a few times to catch all of the gems. I was self taught and forced to go to college, I am most comfortable with PHP but I spent a lot of time with Python and Django. I got out of wanting to code after getting burnt out working as a developer at Wayfair, but now I have a hair up my butt to get into coding and I was debating on Laravel or Python/Django and I may just pay for GPT4 to give Python a whirl. I can still read code and understand it, but I can't necessarily come up with the syntax like I used to.
And I agree about prompt engineering. I'm not a prompt engineer, but my first prompts were more smaller steps than "write me an article about making money" I was more of a "get title ideas," "get intro," etc. I'm excited to see where things are going.
teaching my self all this stuff has me learning other stuff i missed before and it is great i do have a hard time learning some of it but i will not give up i want to be able to make something awesome and if not it is what it is i did my best also i cant wait to see if i can get the hang of this

This video is the coolest thing on the internet. I imagine future entrepreneurs with the knowledge of AI can save much money and headaches with the knowledge of utilizing AI for various tasks. Furthermore, an experienced AI user can probably create higher-quality outputs than a traditional artist or a content creator. When tools become simple and relatively easy to use, perhaps the wider population will start to consider using AI for much of their daily lives, eliminating bias and misconceptions. Perhaps people will make decisions to shop online based on AI assessments as well, prompting businesses to consider this new matrix along the way. Thank you for the video 🙏
I'm not 100% sure of the laws, you probably can't just sell transcripts, that seems like a copyright violation. But Fair Use allows you to use it if certain conditions are met. Summaries seem like they fall under that, but you have to be able to argue "fair use", there are a handful of checks that you would have to pass, basically.
this is amazing, I feel the future, its become me! This will allow us to develop every theory of consciousness and build an ultimate AGI that leads us to ASI within 4-8 years!! I can't wait!! The future is here, I believe we will see space travel in our time!!!
I went to college for IT when I could do some really cool stuff in Visual BASIC 6, compile an executable, and be on my way. I literally left computer programming after that for 20+ years and I’m trying to get back in the game with Python and AI. There are so many changes about the actual nuts and bolts of developing that I don’t understand yet and wish someone could update me on for the last 20 years.
I'm going through "Building AI Products with OpenAI" on uplimit. The instructor is Sidharth Ramachandran. It just finished and I will do a review on it soon. But the code you saw was from that course and it might be a next great step!
Title is bit misleading suggesting you actually will show how to build AI agents . But great content anyways. I have been into AI/ML since beginning of last year and due to time constraints and no knowledge of coding I have been continuously building and learning ML and I can say this stuff is really helpful to people who’re just getting started. Only if I had that luxury would have shaved lot of hours in research. Thanks man
It already exists! I got an email or pop up can't even rememberer now, offering this basic thing....and I tried to ask it if it could look up sales for items, list an item and take the pictures which would be the only thing I would provid it in order to put my things on sale both on eBay and amazon or anywhere else. figuring out where to sell would be part of looking up the item...then it asked it me bunch of info which I was not about to fill out at that time so I left it and forgot all about it until now, although I decided then that I was following your channel more and learning how to do this myself and then selling that process to everyone, because who doesn't have crap laying around that they wish they could sell and get rid of the clutter in there home.....so yea, thats out already...can't be to hard to find out who's working on it...and to close Ive asked at least 5 AIs to help me do this, any part of this selling process and best I've gotten is having the description filled out for me. which I use all the time and its a free service from eBays AI (because of course they have one too LOL ) the crazy part is no other AI could do any of it....they have access to email and can do all kinds of stuff there but none have access to my sellers accounts...I recently thought that with an AI running on local for just me, I might be able to do this easier.... what do you think? what do I need to learn to make this happen and what has to happen for me to even be able to have AI do this?
Is there a discord or some sort of community where I can share my insights with others and vice versa to learn? I'M working on a science project right now and I'm looking for a community to learn and share
