For a research organization openai sure seems to be putting a lot of effort into PR. Beating players using a subset of the game is impressive but there is no mention whatsoever of the fact that only a subset of the game is allowed. The research is cool by itself, why do they feel the need to promote so heavily that the AI is beating human players "in the first 17 minutes of" rather than giving a realistic picture of their progress. This is how you create an AI winter.
