- 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
- Replying to @jungofthewonthe 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
00:00 - one of the best things to come out of @oughtinc hackathon today: @manda_ngo teaching gpt3 to reframe negative thoughts positively. cc @elicitorg
00:00 - 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
00:00 - 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

00:00 - Replying to @jungofthewon2. 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"
- My Twitter feed has gone from interesting ai content to annoying ai hype
- 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
- Replying to @jungofthewon3. 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
- Replying to @jungofthewonthe company is tow.pro if you ever find yourself on the side of a highway in east bay and wanna get out
- 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 peopleWe raised a $22M Series A and are launching Elicit Reports, a better version of Deep Research for actual researchers. Elicit Reports are available for everyone to try right now, for free. 👇
