Greg BrockmanEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

Greg Brockman, author and research associate at the Cato Institute, joins Lexman to discuss his new book: Navarin: A Modern Epic of France in Turmoil. The two discuss Puccini's opera Tosca and the contemporary relevance of amplifiers in the wine industry.

Cedric discusses the pros and cons of prochronisms with Greg Brockman, a particle physicist at the University of California, Irvine. They discuss the usage of ballasts in space exploration and the fascinating Leonides asteroid.

Greg Brockman from The Skeptical Economist discusses the problems with disarmament and how increased regulation of the transportation industry could lead to more cunners and proclaimer.

Today we’re joined by return guest Greg Brockman, co-founder and CTO of OpenAI. We had the pleasure of reconnecting with Greg on the heels of the announcement of Codex, OpenAI’s most recent release. Codex is a direct descendant of GPT-3 that allows users to do autocomplete tasks based on all of the publicly available text and code on the internet. In our conversation with Greg, we explore the distinct results Codex sees in comparison to GPT-3, relative to the prompts it's being given, how it could evolve given different types of training data, and how users and practitioners should think about interacting with the API to get the most out of it. We also discuss Copilot, their recent collaboration with Github that is built on Codex, as well as the implications of Codex on coding education, explainability, and broader societal issues like fairness and bias, copyrighting, and jobs.

How do tech companies that are so consumed by the incentive to grow remain true to their missions? Tune into our newest AI Ignition episode featuring Greg Brockman co-founder of OpenAI. Learn how this business model of a non-profit with a capped-for-profit subsidiary effectively allows OpenAI to focus on providing ethical technology to all of humanity.

The show is part of a series that I’m really excited about, in part because I’ve been working to bring them to you for quite a while now. The focus of the series is a sampling of the interesting work being done over at OpenAI, the independent AI research lab founded by Elon Musk, Sam Altman and others. In this episode, I’m joined by Greg Brockman, OpenAI Co-Founder and CTO. Greg and I touch on a bunch of topics in the show. We start with the founding and goals of OpenAI, before diving into a discussion on Artificial General Intelligence, what it means to achieve it, and how we going about doing so safely and without bias. We also touch on how to massively scale neural networks and their training training and the evolution of computational frameworks for AI. This conversation is not only informative and nerd alert worthy, but we cover some very important topics, so please take it all in, enjoy, and send along your feedback!
