“As a computer scientist, I’ve never seen anything as exciting as all of the AI progress the last few years.”
That’s Google founder Sergey Brin at the All-In Summit. In a candid talk with David Friedberg, Brin gave his insights on the future of AI and where the company he founded is headed.
Coming Out of Retirement
It takes a lot to bring a man worth $121 billion out of retirement. But last year, after four years away from Google, Brin came back.
It reminds me of the action movies where the hero comes back “for one last job.” And in this case, it could be the biggest job of Brin’s career.
What brought Brin back was the massive opportunity in AI. I agree with Brin that this is the biggest thing I’ve seen since the internet.
All week, I’ve been meeting with AI companies currently in YC. The stuff they’re doing is nuts — finding minerals 10x faster, controlling robots without code, and a lot more.
We will be taking diamonds out of this mine for the rest of our careers. And like Brin, I’m really excited to be a part of it.
The Future of Google
The potential of AI is limitless. But will Google be one of the winners?
Brin and Friedberg tell an interesting story that shows what has gone wrong at Google.
Engineers had built a tool to write code with AI. But they were afraid to push it to production, worried it would make mistakes.
Brin told them to take it live. This is one of those moments where founder authority is all-important.
Google leads in countless technologies. They invented transformers, the technology behind LLM’s.
But they did nothing with it.
If Google can drop this conservatism, it could still be an incredible growth business. It’s Google Cloud AI service has more inbound than they can handle. Alpha fold is widely used by biologists to model protein folding, which is critical for developing new drugs.
They’ve got the tech. Now they just have to get out of their own way!
Wrap-Up
Brin’s talk really got my juices flowing this morning.
Here’s a man who’s seen everything and done everything. He’s at the pinnacle of success.
And he’s back in the office grinding it out. Not for money, but for the love of this incredible technology.
I couldn’t be happier to be here too!
