There's an interesting path opening up in content design: working
on the actual language models underpinning this explosion of new
features we're seeing. 


This is a new and fairly anxiety-inducing area. But as content
designers, it's important that we engage and help build any type
of new technology that involves content - or it's going to
outpace us.


This is why I spoke with Ben Barone-Nugent from Google for
today's podcast. He's on the Gemini team, and we spoke about his
work in moving from traditional "content design" into the content
(and conversation) design for an chat-based LLM experience. 


This is an important chat for many reasons, but here's a big one:
it's important that we see a future for how content designers can
be involved in this type of work. We talk about that, and:


How content designers can work on language models

The path from content design to conversation design to AI

What LLMs are good at, bad at, and what we don't know yet

The future of content design as creating content at
scale 

Much, much more!



A quick note: apologies for my audio quality this month. I
accidentally used my laptop microphone instead of my big fancy
one. Don't hate me!
