My work at Elicit is out! We spent a lot of time trying to build the world's best systematic review evaluations. I might be wrong, but I think this is the largest AI assisted SLR dataset in the *world* by 10x!!* We benchmark against ~994 papers versus ~100 for the next largest

How well does Elicit's semantic search work for systematic reviews? Cochrane reviews are the gold standard for evidence synthesis in health and medicine. We sampled 888 reviews across 12 MeSH areas. For each Cochrane systematic review, we ran Elicit using only the review title

In Physics we don't read the original works of Newton. In biology we don't read the original works of Darwin or Mendel (in intro classes). And yet in philosophy they make us read works thousands of years old as if there has been no progress since

I got dunked on pretty bad for asking a honest question on a topic I don't know anything about (Irish history). A lot of accounts with lots of followers quote tweeted me and their followers piled on. It's terrible how rude people can be on those they consider their outgroup

Places for the GPU poor to work in AI (after asking a bunch of people at ICLR) 1. Evals / datasets / benchmarks 2. Trying things on small models and then trying to scale them up 3. Interp / explainibility / robustness

my theory of genius in the internet age: a lot of young kids are very smart, but their time is taken away by school and other unproductive obligations. if you're a kid who can do 12th grade math at age 12, the best thing possible for you is that you self learn it on youtube

Personally I think this is REALLY funny. I seem to have broken some humanities people taboo

Normally I might post that this tweet shows someone who has been sadly deprived of an education in the humanities, but I think what it really shows is that some people don’t actually deserve an education in the humanities

I don't have ADHD (or had much better executive function a few years ago). But this article from @zetalyrae has really changed the way i think and helped me handle the transition of starting a new job + moving across the world much better than I feared
