Most founders of Sergey Brin’s vintage and net worth do not come back to write code. Brin did. He stepped away from Google in 2019, and when the frontier of AI started moving faster than anyone expected, he returned in 2023 to work hands-on on Gemini - by his own account because staying retired through this particular moment in computing would have been a mistake. That makes his public commentary an unusually direct read on how Google sees the race, and it is why I keep this page. It is a growing, chronological index of his interviews, talks, and appearances, with enough context around each to know what you are clicking into. ...

TL;DR An “emergency debate” framing the case that AI agents will displace large parts of the workforce inside a 24-month horizon Contributors disagree on speed but agree the direction is settled - the question is which sectors move first, not whether they move Near-term pressure is on roles built around predictable, repeatable cognitive work; durable roles cluster around judgment, taste, and accountability Education and training systems are slower to adapt than the technology, which creates a real workforce mismatch in the meantime Worth watching as a snapshot of the 2025 conversation - useful frame even where you disagree with the specific predictions About This debate explores urgent questions about AI’s impact on employment and the workforce. Contributors discuss the timeline for AI-driven job displacement and the societal preparations needed to adapt to rapid automation. ...

TL;DR DeepSeek’s January 2025 release of R1 shook markets - a frontier-grade reasoning model trained for a reported $6M, a fraction of US lab budgets The app shot to #1 on Apple’s App Store inside days, and the open weights forced an industry-wide rethink of what training really costs Subsequent releases (V3 and beyond) cemented DeepSeek as a serious competitor in the open-source and cost-efficient AI category The story is less “China caught up” and more “the cost floor moved” - implications for closed-model pricing, GPU demand, and open-weight strategy Worth understanding as the moment that made cheap, capable, open models a credible default rather than a curiosity Overview In January 2025, a Chinese AI lab most people had never heard of dropped a frontier-grade reasoning model for a reported $6 million and watched it hit the top of the Apple App Store inside days. DeepSeek R1 did not just impress researchers - it shook equity markets, forced a hard look at what US labs were actually spending their billions on, and made cheap, capable, open-weight models a credible default rather than an interesting curiosity. ...

A list of all my favourite computers, phones & games consoles I’ve mostly owned or used at school & college, in order of purchase / initial use … Computers Commodore PET (1977) The Commodore PET was the first computer I learnt BASIC in the school computing club (1981) The first program I wrote was an animated Christmas card as part of a school competition, I was quite proud of it. We were meant to showcase all of our programs at a public school event however I forgot to take the tape with me to school, I was truly gutted. I also mislaid the tape at home so have lost all those initial programs I wrote :( ...
