Creator Andrew Curran also declared independence from lab funding.
Among all the big hires the labs are making recently recently, and since people occasionally ask, it may be worth reiterating that I do not take money from any of the AI labs. I also don't take any corporate sponsorship money for anything I write, whether here or substack, etc.
Users praise Ethan Mollick for reaffirming no funding from AI labs because it preserves his neutrality, integrity, and ability to judge companies fairly.

This is not a dig at the people who join the labs. I talk to leaders at the big AI companies regularly, That’s where a lot of the most interesting work is happening, and, if I was in a different field, I would be much more tempted to go where the hard problems are.

@emollick I salute you, and I can make the same declaration.

@emollick That's why your opinion is so important to us.
@emollick The fact you have the mention it makes me second guess you 🤣
@emollick Off topic but I saw your book at Books-a-million here in my little town of 25k people the other day, thought it was pretty rad to see you locally!
@emollick Honest question - why haven't you joined one yet? Even as a consultant?
You're one of the most prominent, and least biased, people I follow for ideas and thoughts on our progress.
@emollick Respect for walking the walk, that integrity is rare and refreshing.
@emollick It’s good to remain neutral. This way you are unbiased and can judge these companies fairly.
