An excerpt from Tyler Cowen's book Talent, with Daniel Gross, was published.

True: on or before 7 March 2022, an excerpt from 'Talent: How to Identify Energizers, Creatives, and Winners Around the World' by Tyler Cowen and Daniel Gross was published in some outlet. Mostly true: the excerpt was published, with a minor discrepancy in date or detail (for example it was an adapted essay drawn from the book). Mostly false: only an article about the book, rather than an excerpt from it, appeared by that date, or the excerpt appeared after 7 March 2022. False: no excerpt was published, or the book is not by Cowen and Gross.

3. E3 How to Make Talent Scouts Work for You Future · 11 May 2022

   “This is an excerpt from Talent: How to Identify Energizers, Creatives, and Winners Around the World by Tyler Cowen and Daniel Gross (St. Martin’s Publishing Group, May 2022).”

E1, E2 and E3 show that Future (a16z) published an excerpt from Talent by Tyler Cowen and Daniel Gross. The only dated item, E3, is from 2022-05-11, after the 7 March 2022 cutoff, and E1 and E2 give no date. None of the evidence shows whether an excerpt (possibly in a different outlet) appeared on or before 7 March 2022. A later excerpt does not rule out an earlier one, so the evidence does not settle the claim.
