  • Prompting with Precision: Sharpening Your AI Skills | AI Series Pt. 4
    Sep 29 2025

    In Episode 9 of Mr. Fred’s Tech Talks, we continue our AI mini-series by tackling one of the most important skills you can build: prompting with precision.


    Just like following a software specification or a cybersecurity checklist, details matter. Mr. Fred shares a story from his days navigating with topographic maps and a lensatic compass, proving that clarity and focus have always been survival tools.


    We’ll break down the CRAFT acronym for effective prompting:

    • Clear – Be specific with your request.
    • Role – Give AI a perspective.
    • Add Details – Context strengthens results.
    • Format – Shape how output is delivered.
    • Tweak – Refine until it’s right.


    Along the way, we add some nostalgic soundbites (yes, even Bill and Ted get a cameo) to make it fun and memorable.


    This Episode’s Tech Tip: Treat every prompt like a specification document—precision pays off.

  • How Do Large Language Models Learn? | AI Series Pt. 3
    Sep 22 2025

    How does ChatGPT actually learn? In Episode 8 of Mr. Fred’s Tech Talks, we go behind the curtain to explore how Large Language Models are trained and why the process isn’t as magical as it looks.


    You’ll discover:

    • How Large Language Models train step by step, billions of rounds of “guess the next word.”
    • Why tokens are the LEGO bricks of AI learning.
    • How GPUs, servers, and warehouse-sized data centers form the backbone of AI training.
    • A simple library analogy that makes servers easy to understand.
    • What happens when training goes wrong: bias, hallucinations, and overfitting.


    AI isn’t just software, it’s powered by huge amounts of energy, specialized hardware, and careful fine-tuning by humans. And while it’s powerful, it’s not perfect. These systems don’t “think” like we do they predict patterns, one token at a time.


    💡 Tech Tip of the Episode: Try asking ChatGPT/CoPilot/Gemini/Grok etc. a simple question, then twist it:

    • “Who was the first person to walk on the moon?” → Neil Armstrong
    • “Who was the first person to walk on the sun?” → Watch how it tries to answer the impossible.


    This little experiment shows why AI can amaze us one moment and confuse us the next.


    Join me in Episode 8 to learn how AI models are trained, what really happens inside data centers, and why understanding this matters for parents, teachers, and anyone curious about the future of technology.
