Well yes, - they don't publish, they don't have a reputation (no teams like FAIR, DeepMind, MetaMind, MSFT AI, etc.), they don't attract the top AI talent, and anecdotally, they don't even even know how to hire for AI (had a brilliant colleague working in AI turned away because he didn't know some facets about the Python language when they hit him with Leetcode whiteboard questions; IMO they aren't in a position with AI where they get to flex programmer egos).

> had a brilliant colleague working in AI turned away because he didn't know some facets about the Python language when they hit him with Leetcode whiteboard questions I mean, to be fair, isn't that every company? Google pulls the same sort of nonsense.

  My understanding is that this is not the case when you get up to the research level, where they use altogether different signaling (citation count, impact factor, etc) to disqualify applicants.

> they don't publish Your info is outdated. At a conference last December, Apple's director of AI research announced that their AI researchers will be free to publish their findings. https://9to5mac.com/2016/12/06/apple-ai-researchers-can-publish/ https://9to5mac.com/2016/12/06/apple-ai-researchers-can-publ...
