Yesterday I was in the audience for what I believe is the first public unveiling of Prometheus from @microsoft. Immortal words - "compared to Prometheus, GPT3 is a toy." All I can say is, I agree. Certainly re clinical diagnosis to Talmudic scholarship which is what I saw - wow.
When training ChatGPT from human preferences, why use policy gradient? I built a crude RLHF system on top of @karpathy's nanoGPT and instead tried backpropagating through the reward model using the Gumbel-Softmax trick. It works for a toy example.

My unwavering opinion on current (auto-regressive) LLMs
1. They are useful as writing aids.
2. They are "reactive" & don't plan nor reason.
3. They make stuff up or retrieve stuff approximately.
4. That can be mitigated but not fixed by human feedback.
5. Better systems will come

Impressive work with huge potential clinical impact from @david_sontag and his lab re LLMs applied to a clinical corpus. New state of art performance in 4 areas WITHOUT retraining (zero vs few shot). Compelling both from pt and clinician workflow pov. https://t.co/wQ9QlhHAJ2
Amazing – tour de force journalism piece by @lindavillarosa in @nytimes on multigenerational impacts of forced sterilization. A disquieting, crucial read. Structural violence against Black women, the disabled, the imprisoned, and the push for reparations. https://t.co/hbP3gygWVN
Congrats to all the HSPH grads of the last 3 years. Had the privilege of speaking at the ceremonies and to share some things that I believe in. If you have any interest please check out the link and let me know what you think!

A pleasure to work on this with friends @MITCriticalData@HeatherMathy@felixgreaves@Gopal_Kot
The current approach to the regulation of clinical AI will not scale in my opinion and a new distributed approach is needed.
New today, in this Opinion piece Panch @basslinetherapy et al, propose a distributed approach to the regulation of #clinicalAI that includes an amalgam of centralized and decentralized regulation #DigitalHealth https://t.co/iEavSJMxxB

Reminder:
Raising venture capital increases the theoretical value of a startup and the paper wealth of its founders.
It also reduces the number of potential buyers for the startup and increases the risk that no buyer can be found, limiting the real wealth of its founders.
