ChatGPT Wouldn’t even exist without Google e.g. Transformers, Deep RL.

  And that's the last thing they probably contribute with how that turned out for Google

  Remember Xerox PARC and the GUI.

  so sick of this line of corporate worship. "Google" didn't invent anything, the employees did, and the top talent are leaving. Ilya Sutskever was a very key person at Google before he left to start OpenAI, and at most one person from the context is all you need paper still even work there. the view of outside google of how great they are has zero bearing on the realities inside the company. the company is people - and google is no longer the place to be if you have talent. simple as that.

    > "Google" didn't invent anything, the employees did No shit, way to be pedantic over a common simple abstraction. Do you want a list of every author for every thing that is ever invented when someone refers to something?

      It’s not pedantry, people keep saying “google” “invented” this stuff and a) no, they paid the people who did, and b) those people are no longer there. “Google” is the wrong model of abstraction to deal with as with the founders long gone there is no intrinsically stable mapping between “Google” and “ai talent”. This isn’t PageRank where the founder invented the original tech. Sundar going on 60 minutes saying vapid nonsense like “ai is fire” is the furthest extent of his abilities. There is nobody in power at google who is capable of leading in this moment.
