Anthropic legit builds one the strongest if not the strongest IC team in the history of computational technology. They are insanely stacked on talent, and either we will witness a legendary run, or a new LTCM

Something seems afoot at Google. The real tell will be if Demis makes a move. Jeff Dean seems more like a lifer to me.

Something spicy must have happened internally at Google. This rapid fire high level attrition isn't just down to the bureaucratic quagmire.

I am guessing this is related to Anthropic’s recent acquisition of Coefficient Bio, and their interest on essentially using AGI to discover novel drugs

Shazeer yesterday and Jumper today....Demis is there something we need to know about?

He will be back at Google after the Anthropic IPO.

Seems like everyone here is easily fooled by the Anthropic hype. After the IPO, Anthropic won't be like the daycare it is today.

Their main competitors are the chinese labs which are racing all their prices down close to $0.

Anthropic is probably approaching AGI, and everyone wants to be there for it

Two big names left GDM recently. Could be a coincidence, but where's the fun in that? :p
