The dust has settled
Organizational drama has taken a backseat to innovation once again
We’re back with another edition of Machine Learnings, brought to you by the folks at Heyday.
Heyday is an AI thought partner that turns your conversations into notes, reading into quotes, and ideas into posts.
We’ll get to the OpenAI drama in a moment. First, another update from us.
We’ve rolled out a new dashboard in Heyday to help executive coaches prepare for their days and connect the dots between their calls.
We’re building first for coaches, as they have an outsized positive impact on the world. Executive coaches work with some of the most impactful people on earth on strategic business decisions and their psychology.
But chances are your work overlaps. You take calls. You work with clients and coworkers over long periods of time. You write and synthesize knowledge from tons of different sources.
If you want to level up your performance at work, it takes just minutes to start feeling the benefits.
Before the year comes to a close, try out Heyday as your thought partner free for the next two weeks.
What we're reading.
1/ Alright, so where are we? When groundbreaking news like this goes down, we look to Ben Thompson to connect the dots. Learn more at Stratechery >
2/ Microsoft has been heavily involved throughout the entirety of OpenAI’s recent saga. What can we pull from these bits on Sam Altman’s operating, Satya Nadella’s moves, and where their relationship stands now? Learn more at The New Yorker >
3/ Behind the entire drama may be a leak. What is the secretive breakthrough Q*? Here’s a deep dive hypothesis on the combination of process reward models and tree-of-thoughts reasoning optimized with offline RL. A thought-provoking read at the very least. Learn more at Interconnects >
4/ Even after the leak, why won’t OpenAI say anything about it? Learn more at The Atlantic >
5/ Sometimes a title can sum it up so well. Sam Altman’s back, and he’s got even more power. Now what? Learn more at Slate >
6/ If we weren’t putting all our energy towards OpenAI, we would probably be discussing Google DeepMind’s material science findings more. The wildest part of this – their tool, GNoME, appears to have understood aspects of quantum mechanics to predict new materials. Learn more at Axios >
7/ A massive science research model, directly tailored on an Argonne supercomputer for the US government. What could go wrong? Further, what might go right? Learn more at TechRadar >
