OpenAI says that they hope to use GPT-2 as a way of making the tool more widely available—and to expand to other languages. It's also encouraging to see that their approach is well-tested, with over 70,000 users.

If there are any major obstacles to this sort of research, all of this may end up making the future of AI very cloudy. We won't know until later, but it's likely that by the time our next big study is complete, we'll know quite a bit about how to build, and deploy, artificial intelligence.

The Times' account says that Kirby, "was not aware of the program until the Bush administration announced its plans in April 2001." As the New York Times reported:

The program was approved in early 2001 by President Bush, who was briefed on the idea as early as 2004. The president also approved the program through an agreement with the Defense Intelligence Agency, but that deal was never implemented. The program, which was not approved by the Senate or the House, had been used in the past by the government in exchange for financial or political favors.

In 2006, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request for documents about the operation, the Times disclosed that the government had asked the CIA to use the program as part of its "war on terror" efforts. The Times reported that the program would "include a variety of techniques, including lethal
