Hwang: DeepMind demonstrated AI systems learning encryption without explicit programming
“There's a paper that came out from DeepMind, I think, earlier this year, that was kind of, like, if you get two machines to talk to one another, they will eventually, like, and you can set up another computer to basically say, like, oh, I can read what you're …”

Shanahan: AlphaGo's Move 37 revolutionized top-level Go strategy
“So we've already seen that with our, with AlphaGo in the match with Lee Sedol. So as you probably know, there was a famous move in the second match against Lee Sedol, move 37, where all the commentators, all these sort of nine Dan masters were saying, saying, …”

DeepMind's DQN is arguably one of the first artificial general intelligences
“To my mind, DQN is in a sense, one of the very first general intelligences because it learns completely from scratch. You can throw A whole variety of problems at it, and it, you know, it doesn't always do that well, but in many cases it does pretty well.”

Brundage: FHI relies on DeepMind and OpenAI ties, lacks major compute
“At the Future of Humanity Institute, we have a lot of relationships with organizations like DeepMind and OpenAI and others but, you know, we don't have, like, a ton of, you know, GPUs or TPUs here like, running the latest experiments outside of, you know, some…”

McGrew: DeepMind was top-down while Google Brain replicated unguided academia
“And so early on the deep mind culture was I, you know, a caricature is Demis had a big plan and he wanted to hire a bunch of researchers so he could tell them to move forward with his plan. And Google brain said, let's rebuild academia. Let's like bring in all…”

Jumper: A two-day open-source hack created the best protein interaction predictor
“The tweet on the left from Yoshitaka Morawaki came out two days after our code was available. We had predicted the structure of individual proteins, but we considered, we were working on building a system that would predict how proteins came together. But, ah,…”

Jumper: Equivariance explains only 2-3 GDT of AlphaFold 2's 30-point gain
“The sixth row there, no IPA, invariant point attention, that removes all the equivariance in alpha fold, and it hurts a bit, but only a bit. Alpha fold itself on this GDT scale that you can see on the left graph, alpha fold two was about 30 GDT better than alp…”

Jumper: AlphaFold database scaled from 300,000 to 200 million protein predictions
“One is that we open source the code and we actually open source the code about a week before we released a database of predictions starting originally at 300,000 predictions and later going to two hundred million. Essentially every protein from an organism who…”

Jumper: Transformative AI systems come from many mid-scale ideas, not one
“It isn't about one idea. It's about many mid-scale ideas that add up to a transformative system, and it's very, very important when you're building these systems to think about what we would call in this context biological relevance.”
