Noam is actually kind of one of the heroes of machine learning. Having invented attention and started CharacterAI. When they raised a billion dollars I was like shocked at the meteoric success. I had quite similar products at the time. I was running text generator and I had some games we would chat to. Yeah, so I thought I might as well go with the character routes and I decided to make Netwrck and have been playing catch up since... good times... i think Noam effected a lot of the industry as a huge trailblazer and excited to see what he will do next at OpenAI
