In July, we had a yet another bevy of extraordinary guests on the SuperDataScience Podcast I host. ICYMI, this episode highlights the most fascinating moments from my convos with them.

Specifically, conversation highlights include:

1. Iconic Daliana Liu (ex-AWS Senior Data Scientist; host of The Data Scientist Show) on the hard skills data scientists need most in today's market.

2. Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and many-time NY Times bestselling author Charles Duhigg on the secrets to being a "Supercommunicator", i.e., getting people invested in your ideas and opening up.

3. Arcee.ai's CEO Mark McQuade and Chief of Frontier Research Charles Goddard detail the frontier "model merging" technique whereby the capabilities of multiple LLMs can be combined without increasing model size.

4. Prolific Google DeepMind researcher Dr. Rosanne Liu (no relation to Daliana!) on her landmark “Beyond the Imitation Game" paper, particularly why all LLM benchmarks are flawed.

5. Andrey Kurenkov, PhD (A.I. Engineering Lead at Astrocade and founder/co-host of my favorite podcast, "Last Week in A.I.") on how Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) may be just a few years and what the implications could be for us as individuals as well as as a society.
