hey everyone david shapiro here um this is going to be a really quick video basically what i wanted to say was that i'm taking a quick break from producing videos about gpt3 and cognitive architectures the last couple months have been amazing i went from 150 subscribers to over 500 in just a few weeks so clearly you guys like what i'm doing um but because of uh my personality i tend to burst i'm a burster so uh what you guys have just seen is a uh you know a few few couple month long burst and um this is this is just how i do i i cycle through projects so i just wanted to let everyone know that um i'll probably be back in two to four months i'll be working on other stuff for a while i've got six books that i'm working on six a trill fictional fictional trilogy and then three nonfiction books so yeah um thanks for all the love um and everyone who who is sharing in this journey of discovery for large language models and artificial cognition um i hope that when i come back there will be some more advancements to talk about and yeah just keep it up and and thanks again everyone
