alt Hacker NewsGoogle has got the IBM disease.
Large lumbering enterprise with massive inertia. Where innovators leave as soon as they get a better offer.
None of the authors of the seminal "Attention Is All You Need" paper are still at Google.
Fast forward a decade and Google will be reduced to hiring the kind of mediocrities who deign to work at IBM and Accenture.
I don’t think the skill set required to write the Vaswani paper is the same as training and shipping frontier models like Gemini so I am not sure why people keep bringing this up.
