The site itself is really leaning into the “made with Fable” aesthetic
Why are people so sour about this?? I can read the site easily, its clear, performs well on mobile, what else do you want? Why is so offensive to people that models trained on tailwind or whatever?

The problem is all these new labs don't have any competitive advanatge amongst each other, talent can only take one so far, though Jeff is a legend no doubt. Models are commodities the applications eg. BaseTen, OpenRouter should capture the value. https://taikhooms.substack.com/p/why-openrouter-can-be-the-n...
I wonder if Jeff Dean facts [1] (I hope people remember the reference) will carry over to the new startup. [1] https://github.com/LRitzdorf/TheJeffDeanFacts
Here are some Jeff Dean well sourced facts:
- Already part of engineering of Google indexing systems that lacked basic checksums and ran on non-ECC hardware, allowing silent data corruption.
- One of the authors of LevelDB a database with so many documented crash-consistency, recovery, and data-loss weaknesses for years. Just check their Github project. LevelDB current tracker contains unresolved crash consistency, recovery and corruption reports going back almost 12 years on GitHub
- In AI engineering technical lead, let TensorFlow lose researcher mind share to PyTorch, and caused Google fragmented landscape across TensorFlow and JAX.
- Had the people at Google who invented the Transformer architecture, but failed, to turn that lead into the first dominant public LLM.
- As AI engineering and VP management let Google Brain and DeepMind remain duplicated and internally competitive for too long.
- Let Noam Shazeer leave and then spent heavily to bring him back with nothing to show for.
- Part of Technical VP leadership who had Bard rushed to launch with factual errors in Google own promotional material.
- The first Gemini demonstration overstated how real-time and interactive the system actually was, being basically a fake.
- Part of the VP and AI technical leadership who had Google AI Overviews launched with weak source quality controls and repeated satire and low-quality web content as factual advice.
- Part of teams that launched AlphaChip performance claims that were difficult for outside researchers to reproduce and remain technically disputed.
- Jeff Dean public explanation of Gebru departure was contested and damaged confidence in Google scientific governance.
- Jeff Dean was part of the team at Google that removed or marginalized prominent internal AI ethics critics shortly before many of their warnings became product problems.
- Jeff Dean was one of the managers behind Project Dragonfly supporting censorship.
- Jeff Dean is part of the VP technical leadership approving Project Nimbus supporting an ongoing genocide.
