That was the specific inspiration, yes.

"Understand" is up for debate, but it's clearly learning something. The fact that it's possible to learn general structure as well as we can from unlabeled data does seem like a significant development.

I think people should be impressed, but also recognize the distance from here to AGI. It clearly has some capabilities that are quite surprising, and is also clearly missing something fundamental relative to human understanding.
It is difficult to define AGI, and it is difficult to say what the remaining puzzle piece are, and so it's difficult to predict when it will happen. But I think the responsible thing is to treat near-term AGI as a real possibility, and prepare for it (this is the OpenAI charter we wrote two years ago: https://openai.com/charter/).
I do think what is clear is that we are, in the coming years, going to have very powerful tools that are not AGI but that still change a lot of new things. And that's great--we've been waiting long enough for a new tech platform.

Thanks, but it's Sam McCandlish doing the demo (and the project).

The entire partnership is incredible and does a huge amount of valuable work, and startup advising, that they don't get nearly enough credit for.
I'll still be involved (and will ensure we continue to take risks and grow!), and obviously Michael is amazing.
