Congratulations on the truly generational accomplishments of @JeffDean , @GhemawatSanjay , and team.  The fusing of academic pursuit with product development has been a brass ring of corporate labs for at least the history of computer science.  There are many successful labs that did innovative work in academic circles.  There have been many former academics that contributed to product development.  But as far as I can tell, what they accomplished stands unique in the combination and scale of success.  Just incredible.  Amazing amazing.  Wishing them both the best!  Congratulations!

https://www.pacingthefrontier.com/ If you don't like what your company is doing and claim some moral high ground in saying that, then what does it mean if you continue to advance that mission? This is the definition of signaling. Just quit and work on something you deem moral. Your AI expertise is in short supply and many options will avail themselves to you.

Please government stop the very work I am doing. I seem unable to find the agency to get a different job and find an employer with whom I have a shared alignment. Help. We. Can't. Stop.

This makes me sad.  It always makes me sad to see tech companies in litigation in general and in IP litigation specifically.  This compounds when any company seeks to do so under the cover of using the whole of government, trade law, and claims of spying.  Treating/calling model distillation as some form of industrial espionage is a wild expansion of IP law.  If there is actual theft of trade secret then the company/victim should prosecute in the US [...]

At first you think you don't need a speaker but I think speaker is the wrong word. It is a listener (which could sound creepy given early travails with these devices)—it isn't speaking as much as listening and then answering. I never use my Google/Apple speakers for music/pods.
