I don't get the fuss about such posts. At the end of the day, it boils down to your personal choices. You love to remote work, find a job with a flexible work policy. You don't, well, here are another companies you would love to work for. Ultimately, markets (including job market) is all about equilibrium. Either companies are going to increase the salary to come back [or reduce if you are staying back at home]. The thing which matters the most is picking up the best option for yourself. [and don't _always_ wait for your company to catch up]

It's because he is so high profile and a visionary in his field at Apple. Or was. He is merely an early big fish swimming away so expect more as draconian old-school companies try to drag employees back to their cubes.

  He’s absolutely not a visionary.

    I think inventing Generative Adversarial Networks, which enable everything from Alexa to GPT-3 to DALL-E to thousands of other models we use today, is pretty visionary to the field of ML. I’m sure you have some nitpick but I don’t think it matters

      What do GANs have to do with GPT-3? Isn't GPT a Transformer-based autoregressive model?

        Nothing directly. One could argue that GANs did kick-start the boom in generative model research as the first approach in some time that worked in a big way. Either way, certainly Ian is a huge name in ML.

    Goodfellow is one of the most prominent figures in machine learning. He came up with General Adversarial Networks at the age of 27.

  Wish we had cubicles. Nothing but big open offices at most places I know about.

    Hellworld! If nothing else, cubes help with simple, human space being inadequate.

> At the end of the day, it boils down to your personal choices. I like working remote fine I guess but all else being equal I'd consider an office for the right job. All else isn't equal though and the reason we went remote is still in play. A company I left a few years ago went back into the office in january. My old manager who was still working there just died of covid a few weeks ago. Vaccinated, boosted etc. The risk might be lower now but it's not gone. I never fully recovered from my first round with covid almost two years ago. I'm not looking for another go. The balance of risk/benefit might favor companies choosing to have workers back. We really might be more productive in there, and hey probably only a handful will die. There's a little more going on than my personal choices though.
