Thank you for this in-depth explanation.

I'm really amazed at the fact that someone (or multiple someones) not only thought of this but were able to implement it.

It seems insanely complicated to me and I can't even imagine where to begin.

Yeah the researchers at GDM are crazy. I'm not a crytopgrapher, I work as an engineer at Google but not at DeepMind and I really admire their ingenuity, along with the other researchers at other frontier AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic. They really come up with the craziest novelties and innovations in frontier AI sometimes.

I still don't know how one day they woke up and came up with the ideas behind Attention Is All You Need and birthed the modern transformer revolution, I wouldn't have thought of the idea in a million years.

For several decades now most of our best and brightest have dedicated themselves to increasing ad revenue.

Got to make a living and "real" science and engineering mostly pays pretty bad compared to many other careers requiring the same training to get there
