Some thoughts on the OpenAI sale, as someone who recently spun a for-profit AI company out of a non-profit AI research lab: 1. Sam will have to recuse himself from the decision, ideally step down from the board. He can't participate in the decision because of his conflict of

the tow truck only fit one person. but we were two. the tow guy we called said he would come in his car to take both of us home. as soon as we were safely on our way, we asked him how many times he's had to rescue people from the side of the highway. this was a first! he

We’re “pivoting” Elicit with GPT-4 😉 Elicit in 2022 took unstructured text in papers and structured it into a table. Elicit in 2023 will take this structured text and enable you to “pivot” it, grouping it by concepts. Sign up here: elicit.org/gpt4-waitlist

well just had the craziest, most bay area experience of my life. after dinner with the team, we were driving home in our electric car when, in the middle of the highway, the battery completely died (was at 60%). we barely had time to pull over before the car stopped and wouldnt

I'm much less excited about agentic language models and more excited about narrower LMs that are so cheap and fast I can run 1000 calls on every paragraph of text that exists in the world. I want to extract every claim in every blog post and paper published. Then run a full

How @elicitorg applies language models compositionally to make it easier to check models' work: 1 When language models extract info from or answer questions about papers in Elicit, users can quickly see the source - the part of the paper the model got its answer from.

2. A non-profit can engage in business transactions but it can't favor any for-profit (eg by selling its assets below fair market value) or any individual (especially "insiders," like its current CEO). The non-profit will have to get an independent valuation of the "assets"

1/ Everything we’ve built & learned decomposing reasoning tasks with language models!! We wanted to see if decomposition: - Helps LMs perform important tasks that are hard to train end-to-end - Improves troubleshooting and evaluation

Language models (LMs) can perform complex reasoning either end-to-end, with hidden latent state, or compositionally, with transparent intermediate state. Composition offers benefits for...

3. Sam has a few moves here: - He can try to assert that Elon's offer is not real. Elon is a troll, he has a history of claiming to have funding when he doesn't, etc. This probably won't stand on its own - Elon can probably get the money and is apparently worth more than

I believe that people “buy” the level of truth they can afford. With AI we can bring the rigor of a systematic review to a user who could never afford to spend months going through hundreds or thousands of papers. I now strongly believe that if a large number of people

To all OpenAI employees, I want to say: Learn to feel the AGI. Act with the gravitas appropriate for what you're building. I believe you can "ship" the cultural change that's needed. I am counting on you. The world is counting on you. :openai-heart:
