Nov '23 PAIWeb #0: Kick-Off Event

This will be the Kick-Off Event for our Meetup group 🚀

The most important goal of this initial event for me is to get an idea of whether there is an interest/if people naturally find out about this group and event via Meetup.com and also to get a feeling of how many people to expect.

I really don't know yet if one or two people, five, ten, or maybe even many more will discover about this and feel drawn to join. My plan is to host the initial event at my home in the center of Arnhem (very short walk from the train station) and mostly use it to network with whoever is interested and align our goals and ambitions. (If more than a handful of people sign up I will arrange for a suitable meeting location that can accommodate the group.)

I am also very happy to give a presentation on a LLM (Large Language Model) related theme. One topic that would be a natural choice would be to share how an LLM (like GPT or Llama2) can be tailored to custom information sources like internal company data assets, websites that contain information that GPT otherwise wouldn't have access to in its pre-trained knowledge body, or say, the collection of Asciidoc or Markdown documentation files in ones own Github repository. We can cover the possible approaches both on a conceptual and an applied level (using Python, of course 🐍😍).

That said, depending on who shows up, I am also very happy to adjust the topic to whatever feels most valuable in the moment to the group.

I can't wait to meet you and am deeply looking forward to learn, create and explore this as-of-yet still largely uncharted territory together! 🧙🗺
