“Attention Is All You Need” was a Google paper, wasn’t it?

I think neither they know OpenAI expected that this would create such a hype. I mean, GPT 3 has been here for quite a while, and most people just didn’t care.

Elon Musk has been warning about AI for like a decade now. So far, nobody listened. It took a viral chat interface to make people realize what is going on.

Kinda like the internet in 1994 vs. 1999. Or remote work in 2008 vs. 2020. A thing that has been there all along suddenly gets the mainstream’s attention and becomes “cool”.
