I worked at Google and chose to leave after a year. I agree with a lot of the negativity against Google here

Google helped create and publicly detail transformers just a few years ago. This has had a huge impact on where we are now with AI.

Love or hate the company, they have made major contributions that should be appreciated be anyone in the field

All of the companies even the most secretive like Apple have been making their research public.

Google's Transformer paper is amazing but the current state of AI has its basis in a lot of people.

Facebook helped create stuff too..

Not sure how true this is.

Because if hn users are gg employees, there wont be any complaints.

Every Googler and Facebooker I know is livid with the mediocrity they’re presently surrounded with.

I'm a current Googler and I'm not livid.

Fair enough. I didn’t mean to speak representative for the cohort. Just that we’re past the point of it being a legitimate market of identity. Nobody should be running around defending Google out of misplaced pride anymore.

This is a falsehood. You are trying to stir up controversy

Is'n it basic employee psychology ?
