Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer leaves for OpenAI

My take: So you see the weight of this: Noam Shazeer co-invented the 'Transformer,' the piece inside almost every AI you use today (ChatGPT and Claude included). Google paid nearly 3 billion dollars to keep him… and now he is leaving for OpenAI. It is like a team paying a fortune to sign the inventor of the ball, and the inventor moving to the rival team 😅. What does this tell me? The AI war is not only about money or chips: it is about brains. The few who understand how these models are built from the inside are worth more than any company, and wherever they go, the future of the tech goes. That's my opinion, of course.
