What if we set GPT-4 free in Minecraft? ⛏️

I’m excited to announce Voyager, the first lifelong learning agent that plays Minecraft purely in-context. Voyager continuously improves itself by writing, refining, committing, and retrieving *code* from a skill library.

GPT-4 unlocks a new paradigm: “training” is code execution rather than gradient descent. “Trained model” is a codebase of skills that Voyager iteratively composes, rather than matrices of floats. We are pushing no-gradient architecture to its limit.

Voyager rapidly becomes a seasoned explorer. In Minecraft, it obtains 3.3× more unique items, travels 2.3× longer distances, and unlocks key tech tree milestones up to 15.3× faster than prior methods.

We open-source everything. Let generalist agents emerge in Minecraft! Welcome you all to try today: https://t.co/1d3YocozsI

Deep dive with me: 🧵

We are today sharing an update on our approach in Turkey.

We were in negotiation with the Turkish Government throughout last week, who made clear to us Twitter was the only social media service not complying in full with existing court orders.

We received what we believed to be a final threat to throttle the service - after several such warnings - and so in order to keep Twitter available over the election weekend, took action on four accounts and 409 Tweets identified by court order.

We communicated our concerns about freedom of expression directly.

We will continue to object in court, as we have done with all requests, but no further legal action was possible before the start of voting.

Five court orders have been issued against Twitter regarding these actions and we have already objected to four of them. While one of our objections has been rejected, three of them are still under review. We are filing our objections to the fifth order tomorrow.

We are publishing below the court orders and the regulator's correspondence relating to the action we took.

Bugün Türkiye politikamızla ilgili bir bilgilendirme yapmak istiyoruz.

Geçen hafta boyunca Türk Hükümeti ile müzakere halindeydik ve bize Twitter'ın mevcut mahkeme kararlarının tamamına uymayan tek sosyal medya kuruluşu olduğunu belirttiler.

Bu tür birkaç uyarıdan sonra, Twitter’a yönelik bant daraltılması konusunda son bir tehdit olduğuna inandığımız bir uyarı aldık ve bu nedenle Twitter'ı hafta sonunda yapılan seçim süresince kullanılabilir durumda tutmak için 4 hesaba ve 409 Tweete erişim engelleme işlemi uyguladık.

İfade özgürlüğü ile ilgili endişelerimizi doğrudan yetkililere ilettik.

Tüm taleplerde yaptığımız gibi burada da mahkeme kararlarına itiraz etmeye devam edeceğiz, ancak oy verme işleminin hemen öncesinde başvurulabilecek başka bir yasal yol yoktu.

Şu ana kadar erişim kısıtlamalarına konu içerik ile ilgili Twitter aleyhine beş mahkeme kararı düzenlenmiştir ve biz bunlardan dört tanesine itiraz ettik. İtirazlarımızdan biri reddedilirken, diğer üç mahkeme karari halen ilgili mahkemeler tarafından incelenmektedir. Beşinci mahkeme kararına yarın itiraz edeceğiz.

Aşağıda erişim engelleme işlemleriyle ilgili verilen mahkeme kararlarının ve düzenleyici kurum yazışmalarının bir kopyasını yayınlıyoruz.

Where did your daily cappuccino come from?

Well, it involves the Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683, a group of Italian monks, and a Polish spy.

But the story begins 700 years ago with a city in Yemen called Mocha...

@nonmayorpete Any thoughts on how this may affect the future rounds? Assuming they’ll need more funding

[Sam Altman @sama]

colleges prioritized making people feel perfectly safe over everything else and produced a generation afraid to fail, and thus afraid to take risk, and thus on pace to accomplish extremely little
