The next chapter of our AI momentum

Google 3 weeks ago 29 17 sources

Google reorganized its AI leadership: Demis Hassabis stepped down from day-to-day operations at Google DeepMind to become Chair and Chief Scientist of Alphabet focused on AGI strategy, while Koray Kavukcuoglu was promoted to SVP of Google DeepMind to oversee model development. The Gemini app reached 950 million monthly users and Gemma models exceeded 900 million downloads. The changes aim to balance near-term product momentum with long-term AGI research and strategy.

constraintlab.com 3 weeks ago 17

A software engineer argues that current disagreement about AI's impact stems not from model quality but from unresolved questions about how teams should work with AI systems, comparing the situation to the dot-com era where both Amazon and Pets.com existed simultaneously. The author notes that intelligent people reach opposite conclusions about AI because they're operating on untested assumptions about what AI enables that wasn't possible before. Rather than declaring one side right and one deluded, the author proposes that understanding requires examining specific cases and asking what capabilities AI actually unlocks, with the caveat that models may not improve fast enough to settle these debates automatically.
