32:56Now PlayingThe last lecture was one I was most excited about, an introduction to character training -- the methods for crafting a model's personality. This topic is so crucial for how humans engage with the models, and one that has been so minimal in it's public/academic foundations of knowledge. This lecture is a 18 month culmination in me trying to help the subfield get established (and I'm happy with what we have done). Thanks for watching my course!
