Compilers (specially open source) may be a stretch, but Tesla AI and Google AI? Can a contract clause protect one company when you're working for the other on the exact same field?
Again, I have no idea what I'm talking about, just curious.
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?
Not sure about in general, but it seems like their residency program [0] gives a good shot at landing on the team afterwards and is accessible to "normal" people passionate about ML [0] https://research.google.com/teams/brain/residency/
Super interesting developments.. Also, re: >AI can't democratize itself (yet?) so I'll help make it more accessible to everyone! This needs to happen more on the software side. You can buy a world-class quad-gpu machine for about half the cost of a vehicle. You can build a world-class single-gpu machine (what I have) for a fifth of that. It's literally amazing how accessible the hardware is, compared to almost any ot…
I mean...you can't make math simpler. like...math is math. you can create resources that make it easier to teach math (and for the record high quality textbooks on AI/ML ABOUND). I think you want software and libraries so you can build things without understanding the math. To some degree this already possible (see my english major linkedin friends playing withs sci-kit etc etc). Fundamentally though, I think you nee…
Worrisome for Apple that its AI efforts weren't interesting enough to keep Lattner, or win him back.
I would think that the whole Siri fiasco would keep anybody in AI/ML the hell away from Apple.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
As a machine learning researcher I have to say that you should join us too! AI is the future! PL is an area with big challenges, but AI has even bigger challenges and the impact in the society is bigger, much bigger, too. I would change the question and ask why anyone shouldn't be interested in AI?
Well as another machine learning researcher, I think you can make a major impact working on problems that aren't in AI. Now if you are a PL person interested in AI we would love to have you and your expertise! Oh and if you want to use AI to solve PL problems like program synthesis and program completion, that's cool too.

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.
I have zero experience with this, but I imagine working for three major competitors in such a short time can lead to some complicated situations regarding industrial secrets.
