Ian Goodfellow, the inventor of Generative Adversarial Networks, left Apple today because of RTO. He just announced his departure in an internal Slack channel! #apple #returntooffice
Good fella
Came here to say the same: he left because he's a Goodfellow.
Woah I didn’t know the guy who wrote that deep learning book was working at Apple. Good for him. I don’t think he will have trouble finding another job.
I hope he joins NVIDIA :P We do a lot of great work on GANs
I love that guy but was that really the reason?
He said RTO is the biggest single reason
No one cares.
What is Apple RTO policy ?
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday in office Wednesday and Friday wfh
Kinda similar to Google then
I really can’t understand the motivation behind forcing the hands of the employees about this. If people want to come to office, let them. If not, let them not. If their under performing, fire them. It’s that easy.
LOL but that’s what Apple wants, all for “in person collaboration”
Did he mention he is leaving because of the RTO?
Yes
"...I'm leaving for many reasons...but apple's return to office policy is the biggest single reason" is what he wrote on slack. The rest of the post is him flexing and posting articles about himself 🙄
