Excited to share research that we've been working on, exploring the effects of AI usage on patent applications! The working draft is available at lnkd.in/gS88ZaBw
🚨Paper alert!🚨 How has AI affected patent applications? It looks like micro entities (these are very small firms and individual inventors) are much more likely to use AI, per a paper with @Nikhil_Dilip and Youngkyung Kim.

Seeing a bust of Marcus Aurelius at the @UffiziGalleries reminded me of one of my favorite quotes attributed to him: “Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast, and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.”

Great piece by @angeladuckw - asking for help is a skill. Very true in #entrepreneurship: founders operate in #networks that shape their opportunities and strategies. Being able to ask for help - and provide it to others - drives this network's value. tinyurl.com/44rs3v5u

Does employees' political participation reflect their own views or their employer's influence — and is this tension particularly acute in a nascent industry like AI? A pleasure to speak with Brandon Pho and Kelly Waldron at Mission Local about this. missionlocal.org/2026/08/ope…

pleased to announce an update of relianceonscience.org, which has been mothballed for a couple of years when the previous grant ran out. thanks to support from the Alfred P. @SloanFoundation we have updated the patent-to-paper citations through 2025. one change in this release is that the citations are limited to patents granted by the USPTO. this will be our scope going forward. this release also fixes a bug whereby the # of in-text citations for 2021 and 2022 were artificially low. lastly, the system has been ported from the old pile of Perl scripts to Python, so you can more easily download the code and replicate what we did. you will need a server with about 400G of memory to run it. happy researching!

On June 30, 2016, @emollick bet @robseamans that in ten years robots would take half of the jobs in the warehouse & storage industry. How'd the bet turn out?
Replying to @emollick
@emollick bets @robseamans that robots will take more than 428K warehouse jobs in the US by June 2026. xitter.cf/emollick/status/748565…
