I can't think of another field of research that's simultaneously brought the potential to solve all the world's problems and the potential to end life as we know it. Very appreciative to see so many great minds working on ensuring AI heralds in more of the former, and none of the latter.

#12This is about 100 years too early. Seriously why do people think neural networks are the answer to AI? They are proven to be stupid outside of their training data. We have such a long way to go. This fear-mongering is pointless.
What does it feel like to be so confident in an opinion while so many brilliant scientists disagree with you?

The linked site says nothing about neural networks.
"we've also started to see what it might be like for computers to be [creative], to [dream], and to [experience the world]."
All three of those links are about neural networks.

nuclear research.

#15How is the group structured and operated?
Re: Introducing OpenAI
#16In all seriousness... does "just, wow" communicate something different from "wow?"
Re: Introducing OpenAI
#17> Sam, Greg, Elon, Reid Hoffman, Jessica Livingston, Peter Thiel, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Infosys, and YC Research are donating to support OpenAI. In total, these funders have committed $1 billion Funny how they just slipped that in at the end
How so?
I believe GP is commenting about nonchalant, matter-of-fact mention of $1 billion.
Re: Introducing OpenAI
#18Disappointing to see Infosys associated to this initiative. EDIT: looks like the infosys brigade is downvoting me to hell.
I seem to have missed a story here. A quick Google search turned up a letter on Quora, https://www.quora.com/Is-working-in-Infosys-as-bad-as-this-l... , is that what you are refering too?
YC is lobbying to change the H-1B system in order the let startups get more H-1Bs. Infosys is blatantly abusing and cheating the H-1B system so bad that startups are getting penalized when sponsoring H-1B visas.
And now YC is getting in bed with infosys...
Re: Introducing OpenAI
#19$1B in committed funding. Just, wow. Side note: I wonder if the Strong AI argument can benefit from something akin to Pascal's Wager, in that the upside of being right is ~infinite with only a finite downside in the opposing case.
semi-off-topic: after Google invested $1B in Uber, I knew they were doing it for the self-driving car long play. How much of that 1B is directly going to self-driving AI at Uber?

I don't see any "fear-mongering" in this announcement?
