Funny story....here we go....

Recently moved back home, I sold everything and took a chance on a girl I'd met in Toronto. Moved out there for a month, we totally hit it off.....had to tend to family matters out west in Van, so we parted, but decided to move to Edmonton together. She's recently gotten rid of her stuff cuz shipping is insane and we were gonna start from stratch. All we owned was our computers...lol....and our clothes.

Moved back home already, in Edmonton and as our luck has it...I scored a furnished 2 bedroom condo in the heart of the city, for me and my honey. Now we have a home to start our lives in, and we scored some furnishings for the time being.

Of all the gifts, I think this is the best Xmas I've ever had in my life, and I couldn't have asked for anything else. :D

Here's a shot of the pad. No worries about the tv in there, we are gonna snag a big screen coming up. The one in the pick is totally temporary.

I got teeth.

I know that sounds bizarre, but I have very soft teeth, and the insurance company was about to boot my ass off my parents plan, so they paid for my teeth to get done.. cost around a grand after the insurance company paid 80%

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      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.
