Huh, I used to work next to the Brain team, didn't realize that they started out as Google X.

> Astro Teller has said that Google Brain paid for the entire cost of Google X

- jeffbee 6y agoIt's kinda weird to think of brain as an X project. DistBelief was developed out in the open in the main source code repo by people you think of as googlers, like Jeff. So what makes it "X"?
