Tesla creates electric cars to help humans tide over the energy crisis; SpaceX sends rockets to space to turn them into a multi-planetary civilization. But every once in a while, Musk&#8217;s startups do something that&#8217;s a lot more relatable &#8212; like play Dota 2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-27462\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/pjimage-19.jpg?resize=640%2C336\" alt=\"open ai beats human players at dota 2\" width=\"640\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/pjimage-19.jpg?resize=1024%2C538&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/pjimage-19.jpg?resize=300%2C158&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/pjimage-19.jpg?resize=768%2C403&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/pjimage-19.jpg?resize=500%2C263&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/pjimage-19.jpg?resize=600%2C315&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/pjimage-19.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">A bot from Elon Musk&#8217;s OpenAI initiative has just thrashed the world&#8217;s best players at Dota 2. In a one-on-one exhibition match at Valve&#8217;s annual Dota 2 tournament, OpenAI&#8217;s bot\u00a0defeated Danylo &#8220;Dendi&#8221; Ishutin,\u00a0a professional Dota 2 player who&#8217;s among the best in the world. Ishutin is a crowd favourite and pretty good at what he does &#8212; his career earnings from playing Dota 2 tournaments is nearing a million dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">But he appeared to be all at sea against OpenAI&#8217;s bot. The bot beat him in 10 minutes during the first match, and\u00a0Ishutin resigned from the second. He declined to play a third. &#8220;Please, stop bullying me,&#8221; Ishutin said during the match, and also said the bot was &#8220;scary.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Before the tournament, OpenAI engineers at claimed that their bot was better than professional players. They&#8217;d trained the bot over just two weeks by playing a &#8220;thousand lifetimes&#8221; of matches against itself, with &#8220;coaching&#8221; from the company. Musk said the achievement was the first time artificial intelligence has beaten the best human players in competitive e-sports.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">OpenAI first ever to defeat world&#39;s best players in competitive eSports. Vastly more complex than traditional board games like chess &amp; Go.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/896163163581825025?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 12, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Other companies too have been working on their AI efforts. Computers now consistently beat humans at chess, and just this year, a bot made by Google beat the best human player at Go. But Dota 2, which has 113 different characters with different abilities, might have be more complex than either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">And Musk&#8217;s successes with his AI efforts will only lend credence on his arguments on the dangers of AI. Musk has been telling anyone who&#8217;ll listen that AI could pose a threat to humanity, and needs to be curtailed. Just last month, he&#8217;d <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/officechai.com\/news\/elon-musk-mark-zuckerberg-currently-trolling-future-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #33cccc;\">sparred<\/span> <\/a>with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who had a more rosy view of how AI could impact human civilization. Back then, Musk had quipped that Zuckerberg&#8217;s understanding of AI was &#8220;limited.&#8221; Given how he&#8217;s now the co-founder of the company that&#8217;s created the first AI that&#8217;s beaten competitive players at e-sports, the world would do well to listen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of Elon Musk&#8217;s usually center around some grand plan to save humanity.
