Pretty dumb and disrespectful to politicize a blog post about OpenAI.

#12Elon Musk was kicked out because he poached Andrej Karpathy from OpenAI to lead Autopilot. Anyways, it was worth it, Andrej is doing an amazing job, and OpenAI is still alive :)

#13To what extent is this not just finding text samples written in its training sample and regurgitating it near verbatim?? -Non ml guy
Re: OpenAI Trains Language Model, Mass Hysteria Ensues
#14It’s amazing to me that no one has yet pointed out the blatant irony that their name is OpenAI, yet they are concealing far more than what is typical.
I assure you, people have pointed it out...

#15Earlier quoted context omitted.
First, it's clearly the goal of OpenAI to bring more public attention to advances in the field, specifically to help voters and policymakers consider potential ramifications well in advance of any "truly" groundbreaking work before it's too late. Of course they're "hyping" this technology. Secondly, have you seen the results? I was dumbfounded and fascinated. I spent hours reading the samples. Maybe I'm just out of t…
I have seen the results and I don't get why people think this is any more dangerous than journalists who selectively report to fit a predetermined agenda or make shit up on the spot. Which, today, is a lot of them.
It's Bulk. Same reason why spam is a problem.

#16>Elon Musk distances himself from OpenAI, group that built fake news AI tool This is the worst headlines in this matter. This is one of the leading media in India. A language model being touted as Fake news AI tool. This is like calling a car, A run over machine by Ford. https://www.hindustantimes.com/tech/elon-musk-distances-hims...

That's a great dysphemism. Gonna start using that.

You bring up a good point. Without seeing their code and training metrics, how do we know that this isn’t some extremely overfitted model?
Re: OpenAI Trains Language Model, Mass Hysteria Ensues
#18> Namely, he argued that OpenAI is concerned that the technology might be used to impersonate people or to fabricate fake news. This seems to be a particularly weak argument to make. How is their model going to impersonate someone in a way that a human can not?
Its hype and marketing

#19Ms. Anandkumar nailed it, this is blatant hype bordering on hucksterism. Elon Musk May have left, but his influence remains I guess.

Yes, I've seen the result. They're nice but, as the article points out, not extraordinary compared to state of the art, open NLP research.
OpenAI's behaviour here smells of Gibsonesque 'anti-marketing', using the misunderstanding of AI and its capabilities in the general population as a means to stir up publicity for their organisation.
This is unethical, misrepresents progress in the field, and produces confusion in the press.

#20Can you imagine if the teams that worked on the Internet decided not to make it available to the public because of the potential misuses. OpenAI is a joke.
