TheTuringPost analyzed the deeper logic behind Jeff Dean leaving Google. Dean has consistently worked on turning rare capabilities into shared infrastructure (e.g., MapReduce, TensorFlow, TPUs). Now, his venture, Discovery Loop, aims to do the same for research itself. They are building the next great research system outside Google's walls, but with Google's money, compute, and the core talent that originally built Google.
