It required that we reinvent the hardware, the software, the algorithms. And while we were reinventing CG with AI, we were reinventing the GPU for AI.”
From 2012, to 2016, to 2020, google bled an incredible amount of key talent
I think that was kinda known in the valley, but not sure any media really covered it

The KIM approach starts with an extensive analysis of traffic flows and bottlenecks. At the intersection of Vrijheidslaan – Amsteldijk it turned that the bicycle flows to and from Berlagebrug turned out to be the largest.
