NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has delivered the first DGX-1 supercomputer to Elon Musk's OpenAI nonprofit, and the researchers already have a project in mind. Believe it or not, they want to teach AI to chat by reading through Reddit forums, according to MIT Technology Review. That seems dicey given the site's countless, bizarre forums, but the sheer size of it is what attracted the team. "Deep learning is a very special class of models because as you scale [them] up, they always work better," says OpenAI researcher Andrej Karpathy.
