EFF-Austin's monthly meetup features Benjamin Bradley, a technical leader who has tracked large language models since GPT-3's 2020 release and draws on more than 20 years of software development. He asks why AI agents excel at some tasks and fail at others, tracing how LLMs moved from simple chatbots to autonomous systems. The talk builds mental models for LLM behavior, covering effective ways to work with the technology, its limitations, danger zones and future implications. It suits developers, researchers and others who want durable understanding rather than product tips.
