OpenAI just launched an autonomous research assistant, Deep Research.
We've been testing it for a few days @Every and it's like a bazooka for the curious mind:
- Give it a question, and it will autonomously search the web (or provided sources) to compile an answer
- It does this over many turns—taking between 1 and 30 minutes to return a response
- It returns MASSIVE well-researched reports, synthesized from many different sources, sometimes running 10k+ words
Think about it like a double decker tour bus but you’re the only passenger and the city you’re touring is the sum total of human knowledge
A few things we had it do:
- Write a comprehensive history of Every from 2020 to today
- Read chapter 1 of War and Peace, analyze Tolstoy's character descriptions, and tell us what that says about his view of human nature
- Trawl through recent 10ks to find unreported financial irregularities
- Research and compile a completely new wardrobe from a few photos
Of course, there are limitations:
- Sometimes it doesn't fully cite where a piece of information came from
- There's no "stop" button yet, so if it's going off the rails you have to start over
But it's very clearly a peak into the future of human-AI collaboration for knowledge work. Exciting times!
Meta-analysis: To "know thyself" can hurt your mental health.
Self-reflection, centered on the introspection and evaluation of one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in relation to self-concerns, occupies a central place in understanding the dynamics of mental health. Nonetheless, the relationship between self-reflection and mental health is a source of continuous controversy. This study represents the first meta-analysis to systematically investigate the relationship between self-reflection and mental health within the dual-factor model framework.
We found that self-reflection was significantly associated with negative mental health but not with positive mental health. The random-effect model showed no significant relationship between self-reflection and overall positive mental health or with individual positive indicators, including subjective well-being, life satisfaction, and self-esteem. In contrast, the model showed a significant positive relationship between self-reflection and overall negative mental health indicators, including depression and anxiety. This finding aligns with earlier studies and underscores that high levels of self-reflection are often linked with various mental health challenges
Furthermore, in clinical treatment, when individuals enhance their self-reflection abilities, they often become aware of previously unnoticed emotions, such as sadness. This can lead to depressive mood and distress. [Some] observations suggest that while moderate self-reflection supports normal social and emotional functioning, significant deviations in self-reflection may be associated with various psychopathology.

@Siftedeu has just published a piece about how Tech community can help Ukraine. I'm proud to have #TechForUkraine by @TechToTheRescue featured along with some other great initiatives.
Can we call ourselves a legion, too?
The first project within #TechForUkraine is launching within hours. SOS Ukraine will help the refugees find housing offered by companies, institutions, and private hosts.
