Sergey Brin: “Anyone who is a computer scientist should not be retired right now.”

Brin showed up to crash Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis’ fireside chat at I/O 25, where he laid out what he does all day when asked by host Alex Kantrowitz.

The answer? “I think I torture people like Demis, who is amazing, by the way.” ”...there’s just people who are working on the key Gemini text models, on the pretraining, post training. Mostly those, I periodically delve into some of the multi-modal work.”
