Episode notes
GPT-4o Is Faster But Less Predictable
- GPT-4o feels faster and freer but behaves differently from GPT-4 Turbo, often returning more verbose or inconsistent formats.
- The hosts see speed gains but note it can be harder to steer without careful prompting or agent-mode configuration.
Force Models Into A Work Mode
- Set explicit guardrails and prompt styles when using freer models so they stay in the desired mode.
- Design prompts that demand short, structured outputs for iterative work like code reviews or debugging.
Recall: Powerful But Privacy Risky
- Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs introduce local NPU inference and a 'Recall' feature that snapshots your screen to let you retrace activity.
- The hosts view Recall as privacy‑risk heavy and potentially a training dataset for automation and job replacement.
