Mira Murati also "missed the king" and just delivered the keynote
Reid Hoffman provided some clear (at least to me) evidence for Mira's non-involvement → https://youtu.be/IgcUOOI-egk?si=FiSPt87v3pM3lfKt&t=851

Yeah, that’s Google’s reputation. Probably the most famous retirement home in the Bay.
but it's not true. Most people work a lot at G. Maybe some teams in search coast or something. But for every slacker I know 8 people who stay late a fair bit.
Of course there are lots of hard workers at Google. You suggest only about 10% are slackers. But that's 10% of a -lot-.
I'm thinking there's a market for an Android app that let's one schedule limited roof space...

#333Ilya knows how ChatGPT works. Any company that hires him will be able to catch up with ChatGPT.
I think what is probably very stressful about this space is virtually everyone knows how ChatGPT works. It is not a theoretical leap. It's actually fairly predictable how this shakes out, and OpenAI is pretty vulnerable. an LLM is a curiosity without user data, anyone with a big silo of data can put out something years behind frontier and still instantly see huge usage.

#337Nvidia should snatch him.
I have a feeling Apple will make a play for him. Apple is considered to be seriously lagging behind in ML. Just his name alone is probably enough for the time being - They can give him his own lab to do whatever he wants.

More like they iced him for the last 6 months to ensure he wasn’t taking their lead to a competitor. He probably hasn’t touched anything in that time.
I have to say I'm a bit surprised "gardening leave" is not more of a norm in tech like it is in investment banking or finance.
