After 15 years (4 internships and exactly 8 years full-time), today is my last day at Google. Growing up as a scientist at Brain and DeepMind was an incredible privilege, and I'm so thankful for the people who made it such a special place. I went from editing decision trees by hand as an intern, to exploring representation learning, latent-variable models, and diffusion as an AI researcher, to kicking off a new wave in generative 3D with DreamFusion, to scaling up generative models with Veo, Genie, and Omni. We're just beginning to build systems that can understand and simulate the real world, and I'm excited to see what’s next 🧠🐸🚀
