Just wondering - does a normal person stand a chance to join Google Brain, or do you need to make node.js, swift, own self-driving car or another crazy project to get in?
Is Google's work culture more like Apple or Tesla? Curious if this is likely to address whatever about Telsa wasn't keeping him happy. Or maybe it was more about the specific work he was tasked to do?
Interesting as a company change (IMHO), from privacy-focused Apple to Google... :D
I find it strange that probably the most successful and influential compiler and PL developer in a generation doesn't seem to be interested in compilers or PL anymore.

Not now, but if you can really create AI, it shouldn't be indistinguishable of human Intelligence. My point is that it is unlikely to make big steps now to advance in PL, but it is very likely you can do it in AI. The last 5 years have been crazy and the people working on it now is much more than few years ago. Note: most probably you wont be getting human-like AI anytime soon
> Not now, but if you can really create AI, it shouldn't be indistinguishable of human Intelligence. If we really create AI that is "indistinguishable of human Intelligence", then all questions about human jobs or research become moot, no? If someone was to create AI that is human-equivalent (aka strong AI) then that would be their final project as a human being. There would be no need for human professional or acade…
- AI might not like to work, as we don't like to work
- You suppose that if you create AI then the AI can create a more intelligence AI and this to the infinity. We don't know if the intelligence is unlimited or limited. We might have reach the top intelligence. (note: the more intelligent the brain the slower it is, and a bigger brain does not relate to intelligence)

Because not every problem can be solved by AI.

And it's totally true! A good manager can make anything happen that their team can accomplish, and their impact can be huge. But some people want to actually work on the stuff, not work on the stuff that works on the stuff.
I was kind of worried he would not find anything... :D Seriously, I wonder if stars like Lattner even need to submit a CV or their mail simply floods with offers.

My mistake. I skimmed over the word "Land" without really noticing it. Add voice dictation and things get even weirder. A lot of times it's magical with some crazy word thrown in.
Agreed on the voice thing. I've found some really odd sound alikes in my comments when I've used it (trust me it sucks to type a long response on a phone keyboard :-) A common one is substituting 'by' and 'buy' at different times.
Worrisome for Apple that its AI efforts weren't interesting enough to keep Lattner, or win him back.
