Is there any institution that failed so hard and so quickly at what it was initially set out to do more than OpenAI? It's an absolute travesty.

Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere? USSR?

Depends on whether you count cases where stated goals were never seriously treated.

Isn't most of their research and code publicly available?

[adamnemecek → keewee7]

Their code isn’t available, no.

This is an announcement of an announcement, so typically doesn’t belong on HN. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

As for the good old “OpenAI is not open” complaints, you can use my ClosedAI extension which follows the footsteps of CloudToButt https://github.com/clopen/ClosedAI.

Very curious what could be the new thing given that they have already published the Codex paper.

Since reading code is significantly harder than writing code, I hope OpenAI's model allows users to infer a natural language explanation of a given snippet of code. This should be possible if it is a generative model.

They will probably offer Codex as another API for paid customers.

They already offer GPT-3 the same way.

If you google "OpenAI codex" the following description comes up, "OpenAI Codex translates natural language to code, as first seen in GitHub Copilot. Latest. Introducing Triton: Open-Source GPU". Though this appears to be missing from the actual page.

For me it appears to be at the bottom of the page on desktop[0]

Can the FTC get OpenAI get them to remove "Open" from their name?
