ICYMI, today's episode provides the top moments from conversations I had with my podcast guests in August. Interestingly, in August all of these episodes took off on YouTube in an unprecedented way:

Julien Launay, co-founder and CEO of the wildly successful Adaptive ML, explains how LLMs are trained including the pre-training and the increasingly critical post-training phases.
Michelle Yi provides her brilliant take on shocking misalignment research from Anthropic, which showed that A.I. agents will frequently resort to blackmailing humans when its goals are threatened.
Kirill Eremenko, CEO of the learning platform SuperDataScience, describes what it takes to become an A.I. Engineer.
And Akshay Agrawal who explains how his rapidly-adopted marimo notebook can be converted into a full-blown, click-and-point web app in *seconds*.

The SuperDataScience podcast is available on all major podcasting platforms, YouTube, and at SuperDataScience.com.
