I'm thrilled to announce my @osventuresllc Fellowship, where I’ll turn my philosophy of craft into code. This year ahead is set up to be a fusion of all my past threads: architecture, technology, and writing. I’ll be mapping patterns, reviewing classic essays, publishing a textbook, and developing an AI-powered editor to guide writers towards mastery. Special thanks to @jposhaughnessy and the team for this incredible opportunity. Follow along here and on my website for weekly chapters, essay breakdowns, and updates.
O'Shaughnessy Ventures@osvllc

Congratulations to Michael Dean (@MichaelDean_0) for being selected as a 2024 O'Shaughnessy Fellow!

Nice! I predict that "cognitive architecture" will "go viral" — a term I just came up with for spreading quickly and widely across social media platforms
Harrison Chase@hwchase17

🧠What is a "cognitive architecture"? This is a term I've been using a bunch recently. All credit for coming up with it goes to @Altimor I tried to write down a bit what exactly I mean by this and how to think about and explore different options here blog.langchain.dev/what-is-a-cogn…

@Wattenberger @recollect_ai That and our web app has “Playgrounds” with an infinite canvas. The Sidecar is our native Mac app where the “canvas” is the Desktop.

Getting all of my thoughts down and organized is always the hardest part when writing something. At least for me. I'm playing with an interface that you can speak to. It will jot down index cards as you're rambling and organize them into main topics.

@ivanhzhao I think it'll be the opposite. AI makes it possible to fix this anti-pattern in modern computing.

Software has been fragmented over the past decade with SaaS. Will AI make it worse? The AI/LLM revolution gives us a new kind of computer/CPU (from cloud compute on demand to intelligence on demand.) But the storage/data/context layer remains fragmented. Compute without context can’t do much. In classic software, humans bridge the context gap with tab switching and copy/paste. Current AI tools/agents are like hiring many interns who can’t talk with each other and require individual handholding. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.

I've probably never been so glad we rely on open-source models as I am today with both OpenAI and Anthropic down. We're demo'ing all week at Tech Week events and I'm wondering if we'll be one of the few still able to demo?

Life update: After ~2 years at Anthropic, I joined OpenAI! This wasn’t the easiest decision and I’m very grateful to everyone who is supporting me through this transition, especially John, Barret, Boris, Mira, and Sam. I joined Anthropic as the first designer / front-end engineer when there were ~60 people and left as a researcher when there were >500. I learned so much and hope that every project I’ve worked on, be it a UI, a paper, or a trained Claude model, will still carry all the love and care I put in. Some lessons learned: 1. The pace of a team’s progress is largely a function of its decisiveness and open-mindedness to take risky paths. 2. Every time you train a new model there will be an inevitable brain damage that needs to be solved and often you can reverse engineer the issue by carefully looking at the data. 3. The simplest and dumbest approach will often just work. 4. You have to go through the entire journey of full understanding to arrive at the simplest answer. 5. When technology is so transformative, it’s your job to tell customers what they need to do with it to solve their problems. 6. Scaling the company’s culture requires fostering internal champions for your core values. 7. In research, the beauty often lies in taking experimental ideas and making them work on a larger scale. In product engineering, the beauty lies in refining a visionary design idea to its most essential form you can execute within given constraints. 8. Early mishires will have 10x effects as the company grows. It is more heartbreaking when the organization is blind to this (e.g. they don’t let go and rather allow them to influence a lot of important decisions) 9. Evaluations are going to be an inevitable part of the story for your product. You can help academia by adopting their evaluations in your model card, and that’s the position of power that is really important to recognize responsibly. 10. Being the first design-oriented person is challenging and often you will end up teaching people how to think rather than doing things. But you can learn a great deal about fundraising and shape the public perception by continually making beautiful demos and communicating research clearly. 11. Not being afraid to jump into unknown problems, taking more responsibilities, and doing 200% more than what is asked for is how I personally grew the most. 12. Unique writing cultures shape how ideas take place. 13. Playing a catch up game is efficient. 14. Doing good work and being kind to people you collaborate with is how I built the most meaningful friendships in my life. It’s been a wonderful journey delivering Claude 3 models, and I’m very excited to continue working on AGI and it safety by learning from incredibly talented researchers and product people at OpenAI.

Our foundation for connecting your ideas (the way only you would) is solidly in place and now things are starting to accelerate fast. This phase of my master plan is going to be 🔥. What if using an AI tool felt more like YOU, but better?
