Introducing Frontier Feud: A Battle of AI Brains in NYC

Join me, Bar Yourone, Partner at Amplify, as I host Frontier Feud, where top AI engineers and innovators compete for prizes and eternal glory in New York City!

  • 1. The host, Barrycademy, is a partner at Amplify and invests in data and AI companies.
  • 2. Family Feud-style game with 100 AI engineers surveyed on various questions.
  • 3. Most popular answers from the survey will get the most points.
  • 4. Teams on stage will guess the answers, introduced one by one:
  • * M from Anthropic: Tech hot take is that at least one of the fiveish people training big models today won't be training AI models by the end of the year.
  • * John from Anthropic: Believes AI can make good therapists.
  • * Tina from Reflection AI: Suggests spending 20 minutes a day with pen and paper, thinking non-AI interrupted thoughts.
  • * Sha from Gemini: Thinks it's important to create good content for AI models to be trained on; will save the next hot take.
  • * Paige from Google DeepMind: Predicts that within a year and a half, most deployed models will be on-device with smaller models orchestrated together.
  • * Colin from Augmented Code: Believes that in the future, dating apps will have AI dating each other, and that Transformers are not the final architecture for AI models.
  • * Petra from Google: Suggests that chatting with one bot one-on-one is boring, and most conversations in the future will involve at least two other bots in the room.
  • 5. The objective is to buzz in first to answer questions; striking out after three incorrect answers.
  • 6. Question asked: Name the most influential AI researcher. No correct answers given.
  • 7. Second question: Name the top considerations when choosing a model. Answers include cost, latency, accuracy, performance, and benchmark scores.
  • 8. The audience can steal points from another team if they think they have better answers.
  • 9. Third question: Name a buzzword everyone in AI is tired of hearing. Answers include agents, co-pilots, multimodality, and AGI.
  • 10. Winning team: Roo's basilis; moving to the Fast Money round with two representatives from each team.
  • 11. Fast Money round rules: Two teammates have 20 seconds each to answer five questions.
  • 12. Team A scores 140 points in the Fast Money round, and now it's Team B's turn.
  • 13. John from Team B struggles with the buzzer and timer but still manages to provide a few answers.
  • 14. The event concludes with prizes for both teams, including massive llamas, rainbow lamb beanie babies, AI engineering books, and gift cards to New York restaurants.
  • 15. A QR code or link will be provided for participants to join the State of AI Engineering survey, which will be presented at the June AI Engineer World Fair.
