Breakthroughs in AI Don’t Always Require Moonshot Efforts
By
–
A ‘moonshot’ is usually the last step involved in a breakthrough, and I’d argue that there are many breakthroughs even in AI that didn’t involve or require moonshot-style efforts.

Google Brain’s flat structure enabled more impactful research than hierarchical moonshots
By
–
This reminded me of how Google Brain worked when I joined. It was way less hierarchal than DeepMind. Researchers basically self-organized into 3-10 people projects, and given lots of freedom to pursue exploration. This led to more impactful research compared to ‘moonshots’ IMO.
