"Inference CEO Sam Hogan announced the open-science initiative Project AELLA on Tuesday. Nine hours later, he changed it to Project OSSAS. In the hours leading up to the change, Hogan learned that Aella wasn't just the name of an "open-science initiative to make scientific research accessible via structured summaries created by LLMs," as the company described it. It was also the name of a famous OnlyFans model, sex worker, and Substack researcher."
"In 2020, Aella was in the top 0.04% of OnlyFans creators in terms of monthly revenue generated, telling Business Insider that she made up to $100,000 a month. She is also an escort. On the "Dating Talk" podcast in February, Aella said that she charges $4,000 for the first hour, and then $1,000 for every additional hour. Now, Aella makes most of her money through research, she said on the podcast."
Sam Hogan, CEO of Inference, announced an open-science initiative called Project AELLA and later renamed it Project OSSAS after learning contextual associations with the name. The name matched Aella, a prominent OnlyFans creator, escort, and Substack researcher who reported high OnlyFans earnings and escort rates. Aella transitioned to research through a Substack called Knowingless that analyzes sex and relationships via data mining and gained attention in tech circles, including praise from Marc Andreessen. Hogan and Aella exchanged public messages acknowledging the oversight and mutual appreciation for work improving scientific accessibility.
