The open stance on R&D that the industry is currently adopting is good for everybody involved. I hope it will become the norm someday. Journals and other centralized entities that regulate access to science should wane and disappear, the sooner the better.

To the extent that other mechanisms are in place to to peer review research and curate quality, yes. And yes I'm aware that the current system is far from perfect.

I mean Apple would have to be open eventually right? To attract and retain talent, if everyone else is doing it?

It's like Microsoft under Satya Nadella, really understood that Open Source is a way to actually win developers, rather than Steve Ballmers "Developers! Developers!" chant that was just marketing speak.

So if you want to be in the same league as Deep Mind, MSR, FAIR, Google Research, then you gotta play like them.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I can't imagine too many nerds that would willingly work for Apple. I've turned down military contractor work despite it paying better than my current job. Being able to contribute to society goes a long way.

This post makes no sense to me. As one of the so-called FANGs, the data suggests Apple is one of the most desirable jobs out there.

So are cushy military jobs. But some people have morals.
