An anonymous reader shares a report: Google co-founder and ex-Alphabet president Sergey Brin said he’s back working at Google “pretty much every day” because he hasn’t seen anything as exciting as the recent progress in AI — and doesn’t want to miss out. “It’s a big, fast-moving field,” Brin said at All-In Summit of AI, adding that there is “tremendous value to humanity,” before explaining why he doesn’t think training more capable AI will require massively scaling up compute.
“I’ve read some articles that extrapolate [compute] … and I don’t know if I’m quite a believer,” he said, “partly because the algorithmic improvements that have come over the last few years maybe are actually even outpacing the increased compute that’s being put into these models.”
