I was recently interviewed by Jason Elder on the Law Enforcement Analysts Podcast about my new book, Large Language Models for Mortals: A Practical Guide for Analysts.

Jason does an excellent job with interviewing (and does a quality editing job with audio), so suggest to follow that if you are an crime analyst or researcher working with police departments.

Basically cover large swaths of the book, through basics of APIs, structured info extraction, some high level discussion of RAG, and how AI coding tools still need a bit of human oversight and direction. Even if you are not a coder, I think picking up a copy is a good idea to get an understanding about what is possible with the current tools.

Just to catalog the different coupon codes for the book:

• LLMDEVS to get 50% off of the epub
• TWOFOR1 to get $30 off when purchasing two books (can be any two books)

I do give the first coupon code for the paperback version of the book in the interview. So take a listen if interested in $20 off the paperback.

You can purchase either epub or paperback from my store worldwide.
