No, I think that someone just over ruled the mod that closed it. Someone with a sense of humor. I think we could make it without any further posting in this thread though. I am not saying to stop just saying in 2 1/2 days <1000 posts would be a snap to make

We avg 3000 posts a day... we clearly don't need this thread anymore.

But one of the higher ups overrode my decision and reopened the thread... so people that bitch and say we can do whatever we want... he's your proof we have checks and balances.

Still think this thread should have stayed closed.

We only averaged about 2,500 posts a day before this thread, that would mean us reaching 8 million a couple days to a week late. But you guys had a point to close it after the first 20 or so pages, it became a mess.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • 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.
