Key Information (from 2025-05-22 transcript)​

  • Is a Latter-day Saint.
  • Gary Sheng mentioned being asked to help start a Latter-day Saint school in Utah, referencing Jefferson.
  • Contributed to the discussion on AI and domain expertise, citing George Haas (expert in GPU programming with PyTorch) as an example of someone who uses LLMs but still relies heavily on deep domain knowledge for complex tasks like writing drivers or designing overall architecture.

    Jefferson Lambert: "If you're like writing stuff that's going to be running on GPUs and like writing drivers for that type of thing, LLMs are still helpful... But it's like if you don't have the domain... It's just too hard right now."

  • Suggested that once domain expertise is established, one can effectively tell an LLM what to do for implementation.
