We’re opening an office in Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪 openai.com/blog/introduci…

*Thrilled* to announce that I and colleagues been awarded one of the grants by OpenAI to try to democratise the development of artificial intelligence. The idea is called The Recursive Public, a quick thread on it below and an invitation to be part of it.

Here they are! Your @FIFAWWC squad announcement is here ☘️

The legendary origin of the phrase "chancing your arm" came from Dublin in 1492. The Butlers of Ormonde and the FitzGeralds of Kildare were involved in a violent land feud. The Butlers retreated to the sanctuary of St Patrick's Cathedral, with the FitzGeralds in hot pursuit.

We’re proud to announce that DeepMind and the Brain team from @Google Research will become a new unit: 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱. Together, we'll accelerate progress towards a world where AI can help solve the biggest challenges facing humanity. → dpmd.ai/google-deepmind

This is very cool: it has become a lot easier to read academic research. If you open a paper in Microsoft Edge (I know, I know), the Bing AI sidebar can read the PDF and you can ask it questions about the paper. (I checked & the results seem high-quality, but be careful with AI)

Me: "It's just error after error, Matt?" @mtaibbi: "Well, that is an error." Watch me confront Matt Taibbi with multiple, unacknowledged, and glaring mistakes in his Twitter Files reporting. Full @MehdiHasanShow interview later tonight. Preview:

We’re offering resources for people who want to show their support across social media for Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was detained in Russia a week ago during a reporting trip and remains in prison #IStandWithEvan on.wsj.com/3nK7JXA

Should we train our own large language model (LLM) on domain-specific data from scratch? Researchers at Bloomberg did just that and shared a detailed technical report describing the dataset, model configuration, and training procedure. 1/9

We of course defer to the Italian government and have ceased offering ChatGPT in Italy (though we think we are following all privacy laws). Italy is one of my favorite countries and I look forward to visiting again soon!
