  • Walked through the presentation yesterday. The timing is good. Some other notes:
    • Explicitly label prompts and responses – done
    • Add a slide at the beginning that talks about “good fiction” experiments from 2022 – not sure. Maybe talk about it on the title slide
    • Add an end slide with Stampede Theory and Killer Apps (coming soon!) – done

    • Added “things we can do” slide to the end
