Many people weren't living in SF when they applied (though they do live here now). We will happily sponsor visas!

cperciva made a similar comment about the title of "#define CTO": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8518420 . Perhaps "#define CTO OpenAI" is an indication that being CTO is really operating as part of

We don't call home. Once you've downloaded the Docker container, the only outbound network traffic should be downloading the requested SWF once for Flash games on demand (or for actually playing the game online, in the case of e.g

We wrote it for somewhat subtle reasons. First, there aren't too many alternatives out there — VNC is meant for human consumption, not for bots after all :). Second, for a single connection, once you're using Tight encoding, the b

We also have something new coming, which we hope will focus research and drive forward progress towards AGI. (As always, looking for more engineers to work on it. Just need a strong software generalist skillset. gdb@openai.com.)

We think safety is extremely important, and will have concrete things to say here soon.

Don't worry, we can and will do better than that. Please hold us to a higher standard!

Yep, I actually support this viewpoint. Judge us by our work, not by what we say about ourselves or whom we hire. Fortunately, we'll have our first batch of papers coming out soon. (We also released OpenAI Gym a few weeks ago, but that

Yes, that'd be great. Gym is open-source — would love if someone built an integration!

In the earliest days, I was doing everything required to make sure everyone else could focus on research: recruiting, operations, spinning up the cluster, taking out the garbage; really whatever needed to be done. There's a surprising

No particular materials right now besides the website. We expect to collaborate with many third parties over time. We're just getting started, so not sure on the specifics yet!

(I'm working with Sam on YCR.) It's pretty important that YCR groups have strong ties with the existing research communities — research collaborations tend to have a multiplicative effect. So I'd expect to see papers coming o

The domain owner initially asked for $30k. We negotiated him down to $12.5k up front and another $12.5k a year later. As an early-stage startup, this structure was a huge win, since we expected we'd either raise money or no longer exis

Starting a company because "everyone else is doing it" sounds like a bad idea. For me, it's been something I've wanted to do since my first side project got 1500 uniques via StumbleUpon, and suddenly I realized how much
