Brin revealed the tidbit in an interview through the All-In Summit in L.A. this week. Final 12 months, several publications reported that Brin was again at Google HQ engaged on varied AI initiatives, however the sit-down is the primary time Brin has publicly commented on his return.

“I’ve learn some articles that extrapolate [compute] … and I don’t know if I’m fairly a believer,” he mentioned, “partly as a result of the algorithmic enhancements which have come over the previous couple of years perhaps are literally even outpacing the elevated compute that’s being put into these fashions.”
