New work from my team at Anthropic in collaboration with Redwood Research. I think this is plausibly the most important AGI safety result of the year. Cross-posting the thread below:

Clio is Anthropic's new system for identifying AI risks that it hadn't thought to look for — what it calls the unknown unknowns. I talked with team that built it and share for the first time the top three ways people use Claude www.platformer.news/how-claude-u...

In what the company is calling a first for a major AI lab, the Clio paper also highlights the top three categories of uses for Claude:

Coding and software development (more than 10 percent of conversations)
Educational use, both for teachers and for students (more than 7 percent)
Business strategy and operations, such as drafting professional communications and analyzing business data (almost 6 percent)

Do you want to understand how language models work, and how they can change language science? I'm recruiting PhD students at UBC Linguistics! The research will be fun, and Vancouver is lovely. So much cool NLP happening at UBC across both Ling and CS! linguistics.ubc.ca/graduate/adm...
