I’ve been studying and working with AI for a decade, but generative AI is different. I truly believe it’s a paradigm shift, and the best way to learn it is by building with it. Right now, my full-time focus is on my AI course, which up-levels students from a consumer of AI, to a tinkerer, then to a builder, and ultimately to an architect. Course webisite: ai-builders.com
We help people learn AI effectively and become AI native by building useful things with AI.
I was the company evangelist. My job was to convince our potential customers that they should run experiments, and when they do, they should use Statsig. Here are ten reasons: 1. The value of experimentation comes from surprises. 2. Eighty percent of hypotheses are wrong, and that’s because we’re tackling hard problems. 3. Statsig treats feature flags and experiments as the same object, so experiments are default-on. 4. A/B testing settles debates more effectively than authority. 5. “Let’s test behind an experiment” — Show the impact instead of debating for consensus. 6. The focus of experimentation programs should be giving frontline engineers real agency. 7. Intellectual honesty is tough. The best way to get there is by building out a clear conviction, then letting causal data prove it wrong. 8. Data is tables plus code, and code is hard to maintain and trace. To keep data manageable, we should minimize and visualize the code as much as possible. 9. Turn ship goals into metric goals. 10. Decision making is ultimately qualitative, good experimentation informs decisions. If you are interested buying the software, DM me, and I'm happy to make a referral. Statsig was acquired by OpenAI.
Managed 5 teams with over thirty people, including data scientists, machine learning engineers, data engineers, and strategies, to set the data foundation of Tencent Gaming's data-driven growth, some examples of work include: - Established Tencent Games omnichannel attribution model across WeChat (1.3B+ DAU), QQ (0.7B+ DAU), Ads, and other content channels - Set the data foundation of Tencent Game's ads network, which covers 300M+ devices - AI collaboration with Google and Unity Ads on user acquisition algorithms, to bridge users' identity gap through algorithms that respect users' privacy - Changed the financial models and enabled user acquisition on Android for Tencent Games - Led the generative AI efforts, including one of the most insightful analyses across the Chinese internet on ChatGPT as side product: https://yuzheng.substack.com/p/the-five-most-important-questions Received two consecutive outstanding rates, which was extremely rare for outside hired leadership roles at Tencent.
