OpenAI researcher on why soft skills are the future of work | Karina Nguyen

AI research progress is bottlenecked by management, research management. It's because you have constrained set of compute and you need to allocate the compute to the research paths that you feel the most convinced about.

"Prompting" refers to writing text instructions for AI models to guide their behavior and outputs.

Prompting is a new way of product development or prototyping for designers and for product managers.

Based on the transcript context, "mode" appears to be used incorrectly and should likely be "moat" - referring to competitive advantages that protect businesses from competitors.

You want to build something that the most general model will not replace you. And oftentimes you build something and you make it really, really good for specific set of users and actually the mode is now in your user feedback. The mode is in whether you listen to them, whether you can rapidly iterate.

Canvas is OpenAI's collaborative writing and coding interface that allows users to edit documents alongside ChatGPT.

Canvas is one of the... I would say the first project at OpenAI, where researchers and applying engineers started working together from the very beginning of the product development cycle.

The way you debug models is actually very similar the way you debug software.
