One of the many lessons we should be learning from COVID: the importance of statistics education.
Understanding causality and probability is critical to being informed and making wise choices.
How much better off would we be if schools replaced trig or calculus with stats?
How do we beat COVID-19, *while protecting our mental & financial health?*

New video: Simulating an epidemic.
What happens when people avoid each other for the most part but still go to a common central location like a store?
What if you can track and isolate cases, but 20% slip through the cracks? 50%?
And much more.

MuseNet will play an experimental concert today from 12–3pmPT on livestream: twitch.tv/openai
Releasing some work today with @scottgray76@AlecRad and @ilyasut. Contains some simple adaptations for Transformers that extend them to long sequences.
We've trained an unsupervised language model that can generate coherent paragraphs and perform rudimentary reading comprehension, machine translation, question answering, and summarization — all without task-specific training: blog.openai.com/better-langu…
