Gustavo breaks down why LLMs are just glorified averaging, how he picked Llama Index over LangChain by keeping it simple, and why the industry's obsession with automation is backwards when the hardest part is capturing who someone actually is. They dig into prompt versus context engineering, why philosophy matters more than people think, and how AI is forcing everyone back to the most human things we do.Click here to watch a video of this episode.0:00 - Why Gustavo went back to school to learn AI for recruiting4:30 - Choosing tech stacks and avoiding bleeding edge tools9:15 - How Knowme ingests long-format interviews to build candidate profiles14:45 - Prompt engineering versus context engineering19:00 - Why LLMs will never be truly intelligent24:20 - Philosophy's role in shaping AI and society30:45 - How employers don't actually know what they want36:15 - Speeding up the 42-day hiring process with AI interviews42:00 - Why Knowme does the unscalable thing nobody wants to do47:30 - Preventing AI from embellishing candidate answers54:10 - Training interviewers to strike the right conversational tone58:45 - When to use deterministic solutions versus agentic AI1:01:40 - AI bringing us back to our humanityhttps://twitter.com/collide_iohttps://www.tiktok.com/@collide.iohttps://www.facebook.com/collide.iohttps://www.instagram.com/collide.iohttps://www.youtube.com/@collide_iohttps://bsky.app/profile/digitalwildcatters.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/collide-digital-wildcatters","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/c0HwyU-IZhsvyIYSsSdOUiGAVx9bBJQ8wi3A6OCGZVU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83NjRl/MjJmNmQyM2Q5OTAy/Y2U4OTIyMWM4ZjMy/NzMzMS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
