Very disheartening to see Deepmind researchers saying I don’t have “principles” because I saw through the BS marketing of 3.5 Flash. I have defended Google models for years. I was a massive fan of Flash 2 and 2.5.

@theo i think he was being sarcastic, given his recent criticism of google

(he wasn't directing any of it at you)

@theo Lol this was not about you at all. Why would I think that you don't have principles? What's going on?
