How might we develop and deploy beneficial, safe artificial general intelligence for humanity? Reid and Aria are joined by Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, and Greg Brockman, OpenAI co-founder and president. Sam and Greg trace their journey—from articulating their mission to early company projects and decisions to scaling and sharing GPT-4 with the world. They also explore the transformative impact artificial intelligence can have on other industries, like energy, medicine, education, and law. Plus, GPT-4 offers a poetic perspective on a piece of code.Read OpenAI’s paper on the Unsupervised Sentiment Neuron here.Here's the code used to generate Greg's AI poem: https://github.com/openai/openai-python/blob/main/openai/api_requestor.py. Read Impromptu by Reid Hoffman with GPT-4 here. For more info on the podcast and transcripts of all of the episodes, visit www.possible.fm/podcast.Topics4:00 - Hellos and intros4:30 - The OpenAI mission8:45 - Advancements in education and medicine12:14 - Surprises with scale 15:19 - Building GPT-4 18:34 - Regulating AI25:50 - How OpenAI got where it is today28:26 - First scaling success with DOTA32:51 - Which industries will AI transform?39:30 - Sam and Greg’s investments outside AI45:08 - Surprising applications of AI 49:40 - Rapidfire questions56:16 - Debrief with Reid and AriaPossible is a new podcast that sketches out the brightest version of the future—and what it will take to get there. Most of all, it asks: what if, in the future, everything breaks humanity's way? Hosted by Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger, each episode features an interview with a visionary from a different field: climate science, media, criminal justice, and more. The conversation also features another kind of guest: GPT-4, OpenAI’s latest and most powerful language model to date. Each episode has a companion story, generated by GPT-4, which will serve as a jumping-off point for a hopeful, speculative discussion about what humanity could possibly get right if we leverage technology—and our collective effort—effectively.Possible is produced by Wonder Media Network and hosted by Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger.
