SUMMARY:Prompt Like a Caveman: Building More with Less
LOCATION:Greencourt Innovation Center
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 31% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nEveryone writes prompts\; few write good ones. The secret
  isn't longer prompts\, it's cleaner ones—prompt like a caveman. This talk
  works through two live examples that prove the point from opposite direct
 ions:\n\n1. Image Classification: we'll build a working image classifier f
 rom scratch using nothing but prompts and show how the same task produces 
 wildly different results depending on how precisely you state your intent.
 \n2. Code Explanation: we'll point a model at an unfamiliar codebase and a
 sk it to explain itself. Well-designed systems that are legible to humans 
 are legible to models too.\n\nWhether you're new to LLMs or already prompt
 ing daily\, you'll leave with a sharper mental model for getting more out 
 of these tools by saying less.\n\nSponsored by Kilo\n\nAbout the speaker:\
 nAvithal Elias Lautman is a computer vision engineer who runs her own cons
 ultancy and builds things that actually ship. A product of scholarships\, 
 she's a firm believer that good knowledge shouldn't sit behind a paywall o
 r a pedigree so she teaches in public and shares what she learns. She's al
 so an unapologetic hater of AI slop: the lazy\, verbose\, copy-paste outpu
 t that comes from people who never learned to prompt with intent. This tal
 k is her case for doing it better.\n\nThis is an IN-PERSON event:\nGreenco
