What’s behind the Google AI shake-up
What’s behind the Google AI shake-up
谷歌人工智能部门大洗牌背后的真相
Some of the biggest names on Google’s AI team got new jobs this week. In some cases, including for legendary Googler Jeff Dean, those jobs are no longer at Google. Given that Google’s models seem to be behind the best of what’s coming out of Anthropic and OpenAI, is this a sign of Google in turmoil? Is it about Demis Hassabis wanting something more interesting to work on than virtual assistants? Or is there something else entirely happening here?
本周，谷歌人工智能团队中的几位重量级人物获得了新的职位。在某些情况下，包括传奇谷歌人杰夫·迪恩（Jeff Dean）在内，这些新职位已不再属于谷歌。鉴于谷歌的模型似乎落后于 Anthropic 和 OpenAI 的顶尖产品，这是否预示着谷歌正陷入动荡？是因为德米斯·哈萨比斯（Demis Hassabis）想从事比虚拟助手更有趣的工作吗？还是说这里面另有隐情？
On this episode of The Vergecast, Nilay and David start by discussing the leadership shake-up at Google, the state of the AI race, and whether Google is actually set up to succeed here. They also talk about the ways in which Google and Reddit have become existentially dependent on each other, and why that dependence is starting to look like a problem.

After that, we talk about Disney’s plan to put even more stuff in the Disney Plus app, David Ellison’s defense of… David Ellison, the scourge of the “time spent” metric, Brendan Carr’s ongoing assault on free speech, the Spider-Man ads appearing in your BMW, and much more.
