Leave it to Google to alienate their own employees enough that they form yet another splinter startup.
Three members of Google’s NotebookLM team, including its team lead and designer, have announced they are leaving Google for a new stealth startup.

Hardmaru, one of the strongest voices in the ML space got banned for doing a test.
