Brin is a skeptic of humanoid robots despite industry hype
“I'm probably the one weirdo who doesn't, who's not a big fan of humanoids, but maybe I'm jaded because we've, you know, we at least acquired at least two humanoid robotic startups and later sold them. But the reason is, I mean, the reason people want to do hum…”

Sergey Brin: Google Cloud turns away customers due to compute shortages
“For us, we're kind of building out compute as quickly as we can, and we just have a huge amount of demand. I mean, for example, our cloud customers just want a huge amount of TPUs, GPUs, you name it. You know, we just can't, we have to turn down customers beca…”
Brin: Google internal policy briefly banned engineers from using Gemini
“Okay, I, like recently, I just had a big tiff inside the company, because we have this list of what you're allowed to use to code, and what you're not allowed to use to code, and Gemini was on the null list.”
Brin: Specialized AI learnings inevitably get merged into general foundation models
“We are generally able to, after we do that, take those learnings and basically put that capability into a general model. So there's not that much benefit. You know, you could, you can get away with a somewhat smaller specialized model, a little bit faster, a l…”
