Its getting pretty lame that we talk about the these guys like they're football players transferring teams.

In this case, it's not a new thing ... back in 2005 (yes 21 years ago), people talked about the achievements of Noam Shazeer at Google (and Jeff Dean and Sanjay, etc)

I always appreciated Jeff having a level head ... which this article seems to confirm:

I wonder if the ideological censorship described in your link is part of why Noam decided to leave.

I feel like there was a scene in Silicon Valley about a developer fantasy league.

Krazam already has a video covering this exact idea.

It could be the opposite. Those are really useful people, they deserve this more than football players

Idk, football players actually make a bunch of people happy and entertained. 80% of the United States wishes this tech never existed.

What they're working on is just making peoples jobs, skills obsolete and trying to invent machines that will concentrate the worlds wealth into the hands of the people who own those machines.

Very few people interpret football so much that the actual frontier work of the best players matter. Out of 30 friends I know who like football only 1 of them could explain what’s going on in the field technically. For most people, pro players are replaceable.

Popular entertainment and unique progress of human civilization can’t be really compared either

This "guy" is worth on the order of all football players put together.

What's the AI equivalent of NIL?

▲mrandish 4 hours ago | parent [-]

This situation is kind of like backend NIL value. His value to OAI isn't just the work he'll do "on the playing field", it's the perceptual value of "OAI just hired the guy Google paid >$2B to get back" right before their IPO.

I think it's more about how the products that impact our lives might change and what might flow down to us becasue of that.

Have you seen the Krazam fantasy FAANGball sketch? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIZt9YPAPZo

It's funny, but with the AI hires/moves it feels more like satire now.

We're a community of geeks. We admire Tesla, Feynman, Linus and such. For me they are far greater than football players
