Laughable to cite and reiterate the idea that Google is cooked where it comes to SoTA and AI in general when they operate, reliably and successfully for decades, one of the largest computing infrastructures on Earth and will likely continue to usefully serve the 90% of AI requests that don’t involve managing large codebases. Also seems strange to suggest that Google would need to Aquihire a company like Thinking Machines when it could spin up their AI model in a couple of weeks on its own TPUs if it felt like it. Demis likely wants to focus on his specific interest at the junction of biochemistry, neurobiology and computation which is more specific and unique to Demis than building a general purpose Q&A search model.
