OpenAI job offer causes a stir

Dave Monlander (@DaveMonlander on twitter) had an interesting experience recently.

He was offered a job at OpenAI, but ultimately decided to turn it down.

The gig would have involved putting in 40 hours a week working on python puzzles and then explaining his thought process through detailed commentary. The goal was for the machine (ChatGPT) to learn how to reason by imitating Dave's way of thinking.

So, while OpenAI's models are certainly advanced and have the ability to understand and reason about a wide range of topics, they are not completely independent. They still require human input and guidance to fully understand and reason about certain tasks. This is why Dave believes that ChatGPT is less independent than people think. It's important to remember that even with all the resources and data that OpenAI has at its disposal, the models are still not completely autonomous.

Rocket League AI cheating bot

AI is getting pretty good at games like chess and Go. But did you know that AI is now so good at the physics-based sports game Rocket League that even top tier players are struggling to keep up?

Rocket League is a video game where players control cars and drive them to hit a giant ball into the opposing team's goal. It's like playing soccer with cars and a machine learning-based AI bot called Nexto has been causing quite a stir in the Rocket League community.

Players have been posting videos and sharing stories of how this AI is able to outplay them with its freakishly impressive ball handling skills. It can fake out skilled players and score goals by flicking the ball off the hood and into the net.

Nexto was originally developed by members of the Rocket League community as a kind of training tool, but it has since evolved into something much more powerful. It's been trained on hours upon hours of gaming in Rocket League and has learned the correct inputs needed to put the ball in the goal.

The developers of Rocket League have taken notice and have banned a number of accounts running these bots.

AI bots flooding video games ruins the experience and community but it's just a new form of cheating which is nothing new in the online gaming industry.
