Just days after Shazeer made his announcement, Google DeepMind director John Jumper said he was leaving Google for Anthropic. Alongside DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, Jumper won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on AlphaFold.
大多数人认为获得诺贝尔奖的科学家会留在资源充足的Google DeepMind继续其开创性工作。但作者指出John Jumper正离开加入Anthropic，这挑战了'顶级科学家优先选择最大平台'的假设，表明即使是最杰出的研究人员也可能被其他因素吸引。
Huge advances have been made in developing and building more capable models, driven by record investments—forecast by Gartner to grow to around $2.5 trillion in 2026 alone. In contrast, the investment in understanding how the technology works has been minuscule.
这一数据对比揭示了AI领域的一个令人惊讶的不平衡：巨额资金投入到构建更强大的AI系统，而用于理解这些系统如何工作的投资却微不足道。这种不平衡发展可能导致我们拥有强大但不透明的AI武器系统，而对其运作机制知之甚少。
