Curious to know what team/division/group folks think is the most prestigious in tech ie Google X, Apple hardware, etc.?
Any AI research lab (brain, Uber ai), hardware lab (building 8, lab126) or AV team (waymo, atg). VR is kinda sexy now though no one has made a real market product
Lol how is lab126 prestigious?
Google Brain/Deepmind. There is no doubt about this. They stand at the frontier and have a great sense of mission.
J.Buckus & co. Very prestigious!
Sequoia VC team or Softbank Vision fund
Machine Learning and Cloud is super hot right now
Google Project Zero
MSR at Microsoft was cool when I was there... resources of industry, but the minds of academia; cool shit happened there. Not to say that there was any practical pipeline to market for many ideas, but prestige in research != mass market product appeal
Waymo (Self driving cars!)
Google Search / PageRank is what first comes to mind
Why? Not disagrering, but curious
