Maps vs Neural Nets Maps are static and additive: Each layer is fixed (roads, terrain, demographics). You toggle them on/off, but nothing transforms. They simply stack. Neural networks are dynamic and transformative: Each layer reshapes data. Inputs flow, activate, and…

Google vs. AI Search Google hunts words. It scans for exact phrases and ranks pages by popularity. AI connects concepts and ideas. In vector space, every concept is a point, and closeness is measured by angles. If two vectors align, the ideas are semantically near. That’s the…

You don’t need giant prompts. You design a sequence for AI to run. For instance, Prompt one: “Create a bulleted list of the latest developments in the restaurant industry.” Prompt two: “Summarize which trends most impact urban restaurants (3–5 lines).” Prompt three: “Write…

Words Activate LLMs and Our Brain to Search Meaning Words aren’t containers holding fixed meanings. They’re sparks of energy that ignite networks of associations in both human brains and LLMs. Say “home” during a real estate conversation. Your brain activates mortgages,…

Prompting Unfolded: Process, Style, and Essence At first, I thought prompting was all about process clarity like an architect drafting a blueprint. Structure the roles, set constraints, and the model would follow. But I wasn’t paying attention to style or essence. Style…

How Prompts Pull the Hidden Math Every word in a prompt is more than a word. it’s a string tugging on a probability field. Say “Hemingway” and the model snaps into short, blunt rhythms. Say “thoughtful” and it gathers reflective voices. Formal tone narrows the slope, casual…
