Q&A

• What did the programmer create for Factorio?

  The programmer created a Lua mod for Factorio to automate gameplay, providing remote interfaces for various actions within the game. The mod is still a work in progress, and the programmer is creating and fine-tuning models to beat the game, with plans to open source these models eventually.

• What is the potential impact of AI on various industries?

  AI is expected to penetrate businesses and personal lives, evolving from a small percentage of usage to potentially near 100%. This will lead to the development and deployment of custom AI models, impacting various aspects of society, with significant opportunities for entrepreneurs.

• What are the goals of enabling creators and small businesses in AI?

  The focus is on allowing creators and small businesses to create their own AI agents for customer support, sales, and communication, aiming to have AI agents for every business and creator, fostering an open-source community, and believing in diversity and individualized AI solutions.

• What is Software 3.0?

  Software 3.0 represents a shift in the future of business to neural networks trained using gradient descent, allowing for the manipulation of Foundation models for specific use cases without the need to train them from scratch.
