Greg Brockman

Greg Brockman, cofounder of OpenAI and Stripe's first engineer, shares his journey through AI's evolution alongside John Collison. They discuss OpenAI's unique approach to the scaling hypothesis and the pivotal lessons learned from deep learning adventures in Dota. Brockman reflects on a moment when he thought OpenAI was doomed and explores the future of AI in math and science. Key topics include energy bottlenecks, personalization, and the idea of refactoring as a groundbreaking AI use case. His insights reveal both excitement and caution for AI's potential.

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.
