Tobias J. Osborne's research notes

I have been travelling more than usual, and talking with a lot of people, from many walks of life, about all things AI, and large language models in particular.

I learned the fundamentals of quantum information and computing from Michael Nielsen in 2002.

If you are at all connected with academic circles it would have been hard to miss the announcement: OpenAI has just published Ten advances in mathematics, ten results in mathematics and theoretical computer science, author listed simply as “OpenAI”, accom…

I have been thinking a lot about how social dynamics are going to shift in the new era of cognitive abundance.

There has been a bit of excitement recently as LLMs have been delivering consequential results in mathematics.

I recently had an enlightening conversation with Rob May and Yash Sharma of NeuroMetric.ai about adversarial verification protocols.

I am extremely conflicted about the current state of AI technology: I am not a breathless convert to the AI revolution.

Frontier large language models from, e.g., OpenAI and Anthropic are completely reorganising the landscape of knowledge work.

This summer semester (2021) I am giving a course on General Relativity (GR).
