I was fortunate enough this week to be a part of #dev2next where I learned so, so much. I have my blog up now where I asked AI to summarize my notes into blog form. Sharing in case you want to see it too.

Ask a naive RAG pipeline "Who wrote this paper?" and it names a citation's authors. At @dev2next.bsky.social I showed how #Docling Java fixes that on the JVM.

Claude Code edits my YouTube videos.

Not the code in them. The videos.

Transcribe. Cut dead air. Zoom the jump cuts. Lower third. Sound effects. Music. Then a Premiere timeline.
