Thanks, Krabbyos! You're right. I should have fact-checked that rather than repeating second-hand verbal information. I will update the post.
This is cross-posted from my personal blog, where I share thoughts on my work and learning process in the OpenAI Scholars Program. I thank Ruby Bloom for suggesting that I share the post here as well.
The OpenAI Scholars , and I among them, recently completed a project proposal for the second half of our program. Having recently finished a PhD, writing a proposal and doing the requisite literature review, should be second nature. But literature reviews were always my least favorite part of research.
Fortunately, I'm in good company. In a previous life as a young aspiring neuroscientist, I once attended a talk by David... (read 1538 more words →)

I'm also trying to write something that's a little bit more friendly and pragmatic than what usually gets published in academic journals.

I added a note in the post to acknowledge this feedback. Thank you for reading and commenting!
