Why aren't any of these geniuses working on AGI? Such as applying some of these NN advancements to agents in diverse 3d virtual environments attempting varied/gradually increasingly complex tasks and learning based on low-level (grounded) sensory inputs?

#43"Brain residents will spend the first two weeks of the program going through the Google Orientation sessions interlaced with introductory deep learning classes" It would be great if, Google can make these two week introductory courses available for everyone.

Also: I was wondering how much you interact with the other current residents in the program. Are you all together coming up with new ideas? Or are there multiple small group with their own interests...

Volkswagen, Samsung, Intel and Microsoft[1] all spend more on R&D than Google does[2] and put that funding into a wide variety of areas just as Google does. There's also non-profit research think tanks like Battelle[3] [1] https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research [2] http://web.archive.org/web/20160329190202/http://www.strateg...

Yeah, but if they have results like google they really manage to keep them secret.

On the residency program page it says Google will sponsor visas for eligible applicants, but the application page it says applicants must be eligible to work in the US. As someone who will be required a working visa, which one is it? Thanks!

Is there a path for regular SWEs at Google to transition into a Brain-like role? I.e. with opportunities to do research, work on the problems you all work on.
A full transition would be done by the usual transfer mechanisms. Two of my former students have switched into Brain from elsewhere in Google, for example.
