Browser tasks seems to be a greenfield field with amazing potential. What if AI can do anything what can human do you with a browser over the phone? Also love "bring your own Docker container format".

Which tasks do you think are the ones with more potential in this field?

This is a bit out there, but it would be fun if OpenAI can get one of the mega popular multiplayer games under this (WoW, League of Legends, DOTA etc.). Imagine an AI team in League of Legends world championship!

Facebook open sourced their library to connect Torch to Starcraft Brood War last week: https://github.com/TorchCraft/TorchCraft

With this platform (and Gym) it seems like a large part of their strategy for "democratizing AI" is to grow the amateur research community. By making it easier for an individual to play around and conduct experiments, they are hoping enable progress to emerge from anywhere instead of just from wealthy companies and elite universities.

It is also a great way to be able to track and organize what is being created rather than having to sort through amateur projects scattered across the web or research publications that often lack accompanying code.

Edit:

Some key ways they're making it easier for amateurs:

* Starting point for problems to solve

* Way to get noticed (instead of needing a university/company brand)

* Technological infrastructure for building and testing. The diversity of tools they brought together to build this platform is very impressive.

This is amazing! I was thinking of this problem when I saw a friend making a stop-motion video. The steps are super repetitive and I asked him, "maybe an DeepMind Atari-style RL agent can learn how to do this?" But I didn't want to do what DeepMind did to emulate Atari games with an Adobe editing tool. This is an experiment that I can now run.

Valve is already involved, I imagine we'll see Dota 2 support.

for some reason, the idea of autonomous bots crawling around the internet also unsettles me. i guess it really depends on what kind of rewards you train it for.

Hey guys, it's Siraj. OpenAI asked me to make a promotional video for it on my Youtube channel and I gladly said yes! You can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGYU5t8MO7s

Wow wow, Amazing!
