Techie vs Comic - The sequel
summary
A comedian who also does data science chronicles concrete moments: comparing transformer milestones to personal timelines, running LLMs and GenAI onstage as punchlines, and using slides to map June 2017 attention breakthroughs to December 2023 Germany LLM and a September 2025 sequel. A single viral LinkedIn post outperforms a research paper, a deliberately awful conference set becomes a repeat booking, and a punchline about stakeholder management doubles as a usable expectation‑setting heuristic.
