Vector databases are so hot right now. WTF are they?

Vector databases are rapidly growing in popularity as a way to add long-term memory to LLMs like GPT-4, LLaMDA, and LLaMA. Learn how popular vector databases like Pinecone and Weaviate can store ML embeddings to integrate with tools like ChatGPT.

"I never thought I'd become obsolete twice in one month" perfect way to summarize what is happening 🤣

If javascript fatigue wasn't enough now we have AI everything Fatigue.

What a awesome time to be a developer.

I know we truly live in a society when linear storage access becomes literally a billion dollar idea

Project Leader: We Need to use Vector DB it seems to be awesome and blazingly fast 😂

Jeff really did all he could to not use mathematics to describe vectors and vector spaces lmao

Thanks for releasing this on Friday. This way, I can be hyped about this by late today, start a new project by Saturday, abandon it by end of Sunday after realizing that I know nothing about the subject, and feel like a 75yo obsolete dev just in time for the Monday morning stand-up.
What a time to be alive!

You weren't joking about ramping up releases. I figured they would slow down by now. It really does feel like we're in an inflection point with AI and programming, and props on actually capitalizing on it!

As a person who rarely comments, I never thought I'll relate to something so much that I'll start commenting again.

Let me also take this opportunity to thank you for your quality content. Really appreciate the work you put in.

Regards, a fireship fan :)

Sad to hear that my career as a proompt engineer ended before it even started.

I mostly use twitter to keep up with this stuff, but you've been properly reporting almost everything latest stuff, great job :D

[swoopskee]

I'm not even a programmer and this is legit my favorite channel on YT right now, I love how effortlessly you mix funny stuff with smart stuff

[rumplstiltztinkerstein]

Now we need an AI that keeps up with all of the changes that are coming so fast.

As a biological being, I press the "Like" button in this video, because I like the video.

[Ricardoromero]

Man it's so nice to see news that are not about AI

[theMonkeyMonkey]

I love how Jeff gives the answer to the meaning of life as 'ad hoc sample data'

[LeeGee]

This is great. I had my head down and didn't notice these were a thing. I used to write Kohonen self-organising maps, and these DB will allow me to store my vectors with such ease.

[ExcelTutorials]

This is crazy bro, I had no clue! Thanks so much for the awesome video!!!

Someone at work asked me how we were going to interface data between two systems. I told them we are going to use an advanced organic optical character reader. Then interface with a membrane driven tactile interface that leveraged a non-artificial intelligence cognitive engine. I think that is going to be the next wave of insane compute and problem solving will come from.
