deepseek has reached the normie circles? cool, but here's a video on "agentic ai" which spreads fear and is downright wrong. advancing ai capabilities is awesome but, we also need to put more effort into educating people about ai to prevent misinformation like this

Just submitted my official photo for an IEEE Spectrum article and realised too late that one of my wife's yaoi comics is on prominent display in the background

@NandoDF's advocating against non-competes doesn't seem to have changed much unfortunately x.com/search?q=from%…

not sure about the accuracy of this, but it seems google hasn't stopped enforcing non-competes in the UK

@a__tomala hope you have a smooth recovery!

@suchenzang @giffmana @yacineMTB @JPoehnelt that said, wen bio change sue?

@giffmana @yacineMTB @JPoehnelt lasted past IO tho!

Two months ago I was fired by Google for creating the Google Workspace CLI. It went viral, hit #1 on Hacker News, gained thousands of GitHub stars and many thousands of actual users in just a couple days. It was an incredible, confusing journey, from directors and leaders asking what they could learn from the tool to getting grilled by legal about why the Google logo and brand colors are on the Google Workspace GitHub code repositories. I think the cause was that Workspace and certain leaders (and projects) were afraid of being disrupted. But the fear wasn't specific to my CLI, it was a broader fear in what agents meant for Workspace. Either way, the irony of my termination was the announcement at Google Cloud Next two days before I was fired that an official Workspace CLI was coming. I want this out there because it is easier for me to explain my story and it is an experience I want to fully own. It's also part of my healing. Nearly 7 years at Google was an incredible opportunity for me and I was fortunate to have wonderful teammates and a manager that fully supported me through these last few months. Thank you.

still "winning the talent war", are you, google?

@AndrewCurran_ been watching this too x.com/fourthfought/s…

I'm quoting this instead of retweeting it because I have things to add to the thread.

oh and Denny Zhou left goog quietly months ago

add arthur conmy to the list. was a bit hopeful after seeing him react to "Gemma Needs Help" but one can only fight fires for so long x.com/ArthurConmy/st…

remember this? they were peacocking over topping sloparena man

@RisingSayak @tahabsn sounds super interesting. is a recording available?

During my presentation at the AI Systems DevLabs today. I talked about a TPU-friendly implementation of QwenImage to make it run on a TPU v6e-8 and the changes needed to make that happen. Slides' link is in the comments. @tahabsn thanks for the snap!

This is one of the greatest features of @Google search and I hope they never ever reform it and I bought a @GeminiApp ultra plan because of it. @sundarpichai don’t change it. Tell everyone who could change it not to change it. Thanks.

@Ta_ra_das @BlackHC would really disagree 😂

They're winning the decency war (if there is such a thing). I would trust the purity of intention of the leadership at GDM more than I would most. (I am also an Anthropic fan btw). And I will stop there.

talent movement goes both ways, but not equally. in 2024, Anthropic pulled 10.6 researchers from DeepMind for every 1 it lost back to them. i'd imagine it's even worse now
