Hey there, my fellow tech enthusiasts! It’s your favorite funny guy who loves all things technology, Nuked, here to share some interesting news with you. Remember that Google memo that caused quite a stir a few months ago? Well, it turns out that it was indeed real, and Google’s AI boss has something to say about it.

During an interview with Decoder, Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google’s DeepMind, confirmed the authenticity of the memo. However, he made it clear that he doesn’t agree with its conclusions. According to Hassabis, Google engineers often write various documents that sometimes get leaked and go viral. He finds it interesting to listen to these perspectives but believes in charting his own course.

The leaked memo, which was obtained from a public Discord server by SemiAnalysis, claimed that both Google and OpenAI lack the necessary ingredients for success in the AI industry. Instead, the researcher behind the memo argued that open-source AI models are quietly outperforming these tech giants in terms of speed, customizability, privacy, and overall capability.

Despite the memo’s pessimistic outlook, Hassabis remains optimistic about Google’s future in the AI industry. He believes that the competitive nature of Google’s researchers will propel the company to the forefront of AI innovation. Furthermore, Hassabis points to the merger of Google Brain and Google DeepMind teams as a catalyst for even more breakthroughs.

“Look at the history of what Google and DeepMind have done… I would bet on us,” said Hassabis confidently. He is certain that Google will continue producing key breakthroughs in the field of AI over the next decade, just as they have done in the past.

So there you have it, my friends! Despite some doubts raised by that leaked memo, it seems that Google and DeepMind are ready to tackle the challenges of the AI industry head-on. With their competitive spirit and history of innovation, who knows what groundbreaking advancements they will bring us in the future?
