An overview of our approach to AGI alignment.
Highest-order bit is that we take an empirical approach — we deploy increasingly-powerful systems and get real-world feedback rather than try to solve everything a priori. Aim is to keep contact with reality.

DALL-E fashion show:
AI fashion show using dall-e to generate hundreds of outfits of the day after tomorrow. An interesting way to brainstorm costume and fashion design ideas.

There is something really beautiful about code which has stood the test of time in production — you can't be sure it's bug free, but you can be certain that its usefulness outshines any flaws.

Coding conventions are often far less important than coding standards — that is, most approaches for organizing code can work, but the key is getting everyone to do it the same way throughout your codebase. Explains how there can be so many mutually-conflicting coding dogmas.

We are scaling DALL·E to 1 million people, and have announced beta pricing (in addition to free credits that refill automatically each month):
DALL·E 2 is officially now in beta. We’ll be inviting 1 million people from our waitlist over the coming weeks. openai.com/blog/dall-e-now-a…

Neural networks have a very convenient API from a systems perspective — constant time regardless of inputs, largely functional with explicit state, and decomposable into well-defined components which can be sharded across machines. Catnip for the systems engineer.

The challenge with debugging is purging your mind of what you think you know & being willing to face cold, hard reality. Requires great effort, but the reward (in addition to a working program) is a more accurate understanding of reality.

"DALL·E is the most advanced paint brush I’ve ever used" — cool to see how artists are using DALL·E!
We love seeing what artists are creating with DALL·E.
