And do you believe that that is what's happening in this case?
If you have personal experience with Jeff Dean et al that you're willing to share, I'd be interested in hearing about it.
From where I'm sitting it looks like, "Google spent a fortune on deep learning, and got a small but real win. People who don't like Google failed to follow Google's recipe and got a large and easily replicated loss."
It's not even clear that Google's approach is feasible right now for companies not named Google. It is not clear that it works on other classes of chip. It is not clear that the technique will grow beyond what Google already got. It is really not clear that anyone should be jumping on this.
But there is a world of difference between that, and concluding that Google is lying.
