Hiya, I work at OpenAI. I think the Grover paper is a good place to read about some of this: https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.12616 We're likely publishing more on detecting fine-tuned o…

This does not have anything to do with OpenAI (though it's a cool initiative.) Source: I work at OpenAI.

Hi there, I work at OpenAI. This isn't related to OpenAI in any official sense, though there are some people involved who either have had links to us in the past, or currently have…

Correct - we saw a similar phenomenon of rapid capability gain via self-play in our Dota 2 work: https://blog.openai.com/more-on-dota-2/

Hi there, the weights and model are here: https://github.com/openai/generating-reviews-discovering-sen...

I write a weekly AI newsletter called Import AI which is also cross-published to this WP blog. I try to cover a mixture of fundamental research papers and applied stuff. It also in…

Hiya, (I'm Jack Clark) - this is a good point. The child probably gets about 50 to several hundred distinct 'frames' of the chicken. Still, a remarkably small number of examples.

You can create environments - it's coming! We'll be releasing many components over next few months.

There was an interesting academic research paper that showed you could train in GTA and transfer over to the KITTI dataset and do ok: https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.01983

We wanted people at NIPS in Barcelona to have something nice to read over their morning coffee and such. [I work at OpenAI - @jackclarksf on Twitter]

It just instituted a bunch of changes which will radically change the magazine and may make it break even. "A person familiar with the matter said the publication, which Bloomberg …

Even more interesting - an OpenAI paper on the roughly same subject/technique came out a little earlier (RL2 fast reinforcement learning for slow reinforcement learning https://arx…

Hiya, I wrote the article. What might not be captured here is that this is above all a community of people all working on AI so it's not like anyone is really emotional and/or aggr…

Hi there, I wrote the article. We also looked at data on things like number of forks and contributors on GitHub as well as massive rise in questions on StackOverflow (thanks to Del…

they plan to publish more details in a research paper, AFAIK.

One area where Google does seem to avoid this secrecy is in AI: both Google Brain and DeepMind are consistently publishing papers & in many cases putting them up on Arxiv pre-publi…

I'm an optimist in this area - people like Wait But Why and XKCD (eg - https://xkcd.com/thing-explainer/ ) - show that most complex subjects can be explained in simple language tha…

Hi there, author here -- mostly trying to be accessible. And I think in the tech community it is well understood that robotics is hugely difficult, but it seems like general public…

Hiya. Reporter here. On the press briefing call Hassabis said that the single node version won 494 out of 495 games against an array of closed- and open-source Go programs. The dis…

Hiya. Author here. I'd class some of Apple's main peers as: Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Samsung, Baidu, and, to a lesser extent, Amazon. These are all large consumer technology co…

Hiya. For those interested, the RankBrain approach of converting words and phrases into vectors ties directly to Geoff Hinton's more ambitious ideas about AI. He speaks about it a …

Hiya. They wouldn't explicitly confirm that it is word2vec, but everything we discussed indicated it's likely doing something roughly equivalent to word2vec, and is also doing simi…

Thanks for the feedback. As a general news organization we struggle with definitions/scoping for stuff within AI as it's such a new area and we try to write for a broad, albeit inf…

Hiya, author here - yes, you are correct. RankBrain is one of hundreds of distinct signals that go into the results page. It just happens to be one with a great deal of influence, …
