Matthew Gray's Google+ Archive Index

When Google Plus shutdown, I got an export of all my posts, which is great, but I never rehosted or did anything with the posts. This is a resurrection of the public posts. I miss Google Plus, it was a good social network, but I'm glad to have some of these posts on the Internet again.

A few of them are interesting posts about the precursors to LLMs including post from 2013 about word2vec, another on LSTMS fro 2014 from Ilya Sutskever, and another on image generation from Jeff Dean in 2015.

There's also my post from 2015 about Sarma some old thoughts on board games and my own excitement about the products I worked on at Google.

Enjoy!
