What a toxic comment. Many people would consider DeepDream and Inceptionism to be the spark that ignited a lot of creative work in deep learning, which Christopher Olah wrote on while at Google AI.
Happy for Chris's decision to be at the big G doing his research, but it seems every researcher/engineer is obsessed with being at the big tech companies being on their resume, which is such a shame.
But obviously chose Google.
Unfortunately, the Fellowship only lasts for two years. Towards the end, it was actually super stressful. How could I support myself while continuing to work on what I thought was important? And if I wanted to live in the Bay Area, how could I event get immigration status to work and live there?
Getting to work at Google Brain at this point let me continue to do what I was doing before -- many of my blog posts, including the one being discussed here, were written while I was at Brain.
