Really excited to see our paper w/@manlikemishap @thankyourniceAi @sj_manning out today in @sciencemagazine. Link here: https://t.co/JKawqEOxj7 tl;dr: Studying where LLMs might affect workers, we find that GPTs are GPTs! But what does that mean and how did we do it? 🧵

@5harad This is the absolute best review because it all seems trivial once someone explains it (really well) the question is if it’s important!

[Edward McFowland III @eddy_mac_3]

I saw this recently presented by @5harad. It took me a second to understand fully, but I then realized it’s actually really intuitive and valuable. My favorite kind of research!

[Michael Z-T @Michael_Z_T]

I am very excited that my paper, coauthored with @5harad and @JulianNyarko (“Risk Scores, Label Bias, and Everything but the Kitchen Sink”) was published today at Science Advances.

@mariadearteaga Congrats on the mid-tenure review! What’s your time frame? I think my group at @D3Harvard and @HarvardHBS could be a great fit…we have some pretty cool projects in the works in both areas you mentioned!

[Robert Huckman @robert_huckman]

Full circle moment when I hosted my ⁦@ETHSWildkits⁩ (and Unity Nursery School) classmate ⁦@astroteller⁩ of ⁦@Theteamatx⁩ at @HarvardHBS. Great to discuss moonshots and the importance of being willing to share bad ideas.

My new article is out! In it I explain how to reduce the odds of your data science projects failing by carefully considering 5 steps: selection, development, evaluation, adoption, and management!

[Serina Chang @serinachang5]

I’m on the academic job market! I’ll have a PhD from @Stanford CS in 2024. My research develops ML + network science methods to tackle complex societal challenges, from pandemics to polarization to supply chains. See my website + research statement for details! Highlights below:

Our new working paper investigating the effects of GPT-4 on consultants, through experiments with Boston Consulting Group. Worth a read if you’re interested in how Generative AI may continue to have nuanced impacts on firm and individual productivity.

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

🚨We have a new working paper on AI & work🚨

In pre-registered experiments at BCG, the elite consulting firm, consultants using the GPT-4 AI finished 12.2% more tasks, completed tasks 25.1% more quickly & produced 40% higher quality results. Big gains. 1/ https://t.co/MqXtAdn3bh
