Yeah I'm curious as to who did the number crunching and decided it would make for good business to open up shop. I always assumed people brought what they needed with them, not that you could pop into a Dick's Sporting Goods down there to pick up a spare jacket or tent if you left yours at home.

I knew of the ATM in Antartica but I did not know that the ATM in Ein Bokek (Which I have been to) was the lowest. If I would have known at the time. I would've withdrew some cash :D Maybe the ATM operator needs to put a sign up of this fact, they would collect so much more ATM operator fees if tourists would realise this fact.

everyone send location requests!!!!

People think when you become a scientist you eat for free? *facepalm*.

No, I assumed that when stationed - cash would not be paid for what I also assumed would be mostly caffeteria meals, which would be part of your package.

Stop assuming you know what people are thinking *facepalm*

Feels like some side-quest in an RPG :p

The end of the world is coming at the most desolate place on the world, you're the single soul that braves to go there and fix it, and guess what - a random guy pops up and still wants to trade :D

Take out the end of the world (unless that's something we don't know about Antarctica yet) and it's really like that :D

Great, now next time I'm desperately searching an ATM I won't help but think of these forsaken but comparatively enabling places! :angry:

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
