Is Sergey Brin’s return the real reason Google went from “way behind” to “easily #1” across AI domains in a year? Google’s best moves imo were: built TPUs in 2013; acquired DeepMind for $400M; bought Noam back. Most importantly, the competition from OpenAI awakened the monster.

Apparently, an OpenAI employee named Dan awakened the already retired Sergey too. Now he seems to be in founder mode. He even popped up in the Google Antigravity launch video. I'd like to hear what he did to make Google move faster than any AI startups.
