Interesting introduction to amazon.com/Shapeshifting-Dag…. Book primarily written by GPT-2, but edited and illustrated by a human. Just bought a copy for the OpenAI office :).

One common AI safety concern is that coding a full set of values, with all their nuances and trade offs, into an AI system might be intractable. So we want to develop techniques for machines to learn from humans in natural language. Step in that direction:
We've fine-tuned GPT-2 using human feedback for tasks such as summarizing articles, matching the preferences of human labelers (if not always our own). We're hoping this brings safety methods closer to machines learning values by talking with humans. openai.com/blog/fine-tuning-…

Turns out Ilya is a much better artist than I am photographer :).

New neural network drawing in the office by @ilyasut. It’s an artistic depiction of neural attention and is entitled “All that you need”.

We tested them with more objects or agents than they were trained with (which worked). Would be interesting to try other settings too.

We did not know this was possible :).

We gave our AIs the goal of winning at hide-and-seek. They discovered tool use: openai.com/blog/emergent-too…

Full house at the OpenAI Girl Geek Dinner last night. Great job to Our speakers @nadipity, @AmandaAskell, @lilianweng, @mcleavey, and @apilipis. (More details on the event: eventbrite.com/e/sold-out-op….)

Want to help us scale our Kubernetes-powered supercomputers? Similar skills and challenges to scaling the backend of an internet startup, but with a very different impact. No AI background needed but you'll learn a lot on the job. Job description here: jobs.lever.co/openai/55babd9…

First variety show written entirely by GPT-2:
A few weeks ago I had the idea for a variety show written entirely by @OpenAI's GPT-2 AI. The very talented @JessKlein1 & @fordprefectskid produced it and it was put on last night at the @PackTheater with the help of >12 awesome performers. So much fun. Props to TalkToTransformer

Congrats to @OGesports for winning their second consecutive championship at The International! First time in Dota 2 history that has happened. Absolutely amazing gameplay.

(And e.g. that’s why @ilyasut and I are spending our time working on Reasoning: mobile.twitter.com/gdb/statu….)
.@ilyasut and I, together with awesome OpenAI coworkers, are starting a new team: the Reasoning team. Many people think deep networks are inherently unable to reason — we'll find out! We're looking for a great people manager to join us. Interested? Email me: gdb@openai.com.

Actually we’re probably much more in agreement than you think. Compute is necessary but not sufficient. See also: mobile.twitter.com/gdb/statu…
I never said that. Headline misquotes me. The article states my position clearly: "Mr Brockman is wary about predicting precisely when AGI will arrive, and said that it would also require advances in the algorithms to make use of the massive increase in computing power."

I was talking about how long it will take to create a computing platform for brain-scale neural networks. About 25 years of Moore's Law; 5 years under the current 10x-per-year.
