Agreed, silly deepmind! /s
The fact of the matter is, if you are smart enough, you can get acquihired for a lot of money. DeepMind, Geometric Intelligence, Deep Blue Labs, Vision Factory, TupleJump, Turi, etc. are all examples.
- karambahh 10y agoDeepMind delivered value on several fields. They happen to rely (partly) on DL to deliver this value, but they got acqui-hired not because "we are doing deep learning" but because "we have technology that can lower your costs/increase your profits"...
- iandanforth 10y agoThey did? My impression was that until the server farm optimization they were a cost center for Google.
- karambahh 10y agoThe server farm optimization is massive indeed. They also provided value before but nothing has been made public about it yet, unfortunately.
