#215 – Wojciech Zaremba: OpenAI Codex, GPT-3, Robotics, and the Future of AI

Artificial Intelligence Podcast

Podcast Notes Intro Three levers for intelligent artificial systems: computation, algorithms, and dataNeural networks – programs with intelligence and depth that allow multiple steps of computationDeep Learning provides space for these neural networks to be searchable and actionableReinforcement learning – optimal algorithm for learning & intelligence. Learning environment created for maximum cumulative reward from a data stream.Compression – a process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representationAs pattern recognition and prediction making improves at a compounding rate, intelligence starts to look a lot like consciousnessWojciech Zaremba is working on the cutting edge of artificial intelligence withOpenAIGPT-3 – a neural network that is trained to identify the next meaningful word in sentencesUnderstands background context and arbitrary personality when participating in communicationCould one day assist in the formulation of AI friendships and relationshipsOpenAI Codex – AI system that translates natural language into code; Codex is offered as an APIImports code from places like StackOverflow and adjusts it based on the context of your project to solve your text-based requestBrings humans closer to computers, creates more of a shared language for productivity even among non-technical peopleCreates incredible efficiency in translating an idea into a technological solutionWojciech recommends meditation – helps achieve his mental zero balance allowing him to receive memoryless and raw incoming sensory information“You experience things without a prompt” – Wojciech Zaremba on meditations ability dissolve the ego
