An audio discussion of the contents of this article was front page HN back when this article came out: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22453211 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22453211 I'll go ahead and say what I said in that thread again re this article : "Person doing PhD in AI here (Ive seen all of OpenAI's research, been to their office couple times, know some people there) - tbh the piece was a pretty good summary of a lot of quite common somewhat negative takes on OpenAI within research community (such as that they largely do research based on scaling up known ideas, have at times hyped up their work beyond merit, changed their tune to be for profit which is weird given they want to work in the public interest, and that despite calling themselves OpenAI they publish and open source code much less frequently than most labs -- and with profit incentive they will likely publish and open source even less). The original article also presented the positive side (OpenAI is a pretty daring endeavor to try to get AGI by scaling up known techniques as they are, and people there do seem to have their heart in the right place) ."
