Funny, as ONE PERSON with Claude, I've been on a tear when it comes to publishing my own research: https://arxiv.org/search/?searchtype=author&query=Magarshak%... So I know that smart people in those companies can definitely publish. In fact, a whole team should probably be publishing like no tomorrow!
Have you built the things described in those papers?
To be fair — from about half of the papers.
Perhaps I'm imagining it but the entire industry was build on published research, this "AI wave" is at odds with that and seems to be driven by greed (although they'll claim some arms race or something to help themselves sleep at night). There should be a new ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policy being pushed recognizing the important role this plays. Although ESG and all norms have been set aside in thi…
> Perhaps I'm imagining it but the entire industry was build on public research There is some excellent publicly-funded research in there, but pivotal papers like Attention Is All You Need and the numerous pivotal OpenAI publications were privately funded. OpenAI is at the top of the chart in the study. I think you're bringing some assumptions into this conversation that aren't supported by the evidence.

Sorry I mean published i.e. available to the public.
Like I said, I think you're bringing some assumptions to this conversation that aren't based on the how the industry came about.
What the blogificafion of AI research has done is allowed all kinds of claims and terminology related to AI to be introduced and taken up in a manner replicating social media dynamics. And that is simply not healthy. We’re fast reaching a place where any claim can be backed up with a set of numbers from a number of experiments run in some gamified environment or the other, with little concern for if it all adds up to…
How is that different from traditional research publication? It's faster?

I was also referring to published papers available to the public. Like I said, I think you're bringing some assumptions to this conversation that aren't based on the how the industry came about.
Even at work, I have come to realize if I simply horde my accumulated custom AI built tools and productivity boosting tricks for myself, I can make myself more competitive as an employee.
I think this is how you get hired now, not by having a good resume, but by making claims of having special processes and personal tooling design that gets massive productivity ROI.
The article is vague about the companies in the paper, for some reason. In the paper, OpenAI is at the top of the chart for cumulative citations. MEGVII, Hugging Face, Waymo, Momenta, Preferred Netowkrs, Anthropic, Owkin, and Databricks, and Aibee follow (in that order). Yes, that is citations, not publications, but they explain that they're trying to use that as a proxy for significance, albeit an imperfect one. Com…
databricks is a top ai startup?. i thought they did spark hosting or something. what makes them a top ai startup

Elon recently (2d) tweeted about making sure they preserve rare books and "scan them the hard way". That tweet launched a cultural wave of opposition regarding the debinding of rare books. The discussion has been around, but it's flared significantly recently. Not sure if that's what the person you're responding to is specifically inflamed about. Regardless, old/rare books are certainly being acquired and destroyed.
No, he didn't tweeted about "making sure" of anything. Elon tweeted "I’ve asked the SpaceXAI team to preserve any rare books in a library and scan them the hard way vs just cutting off the spine and scanning" which is no sense a credible source for what he actually asked SpaceXAI team to do, or if they are doing it, or what they were doing before yesterday. Elon has an extremely long and thorough track record of lyin…
The problem remains either way. Small operations around the globe are debinding rare/unique books. I'm involved with an organization considering (not strongly) that exactly.

A distinction should be made between the old nonprofit OpenAI and the current organization. They don't publish technical research anymore.
