robleclerc · x · 2026-08-13
Sergey Brin is reportedly steering Google's AI resources toward recursive self-improvement (RSI), pushing for AI capable of upgrading itself without human intervention.
Brin has previously urged key staff to catch up with the frontier. The pressure has intensified following rapid advancements from competitors like Anthropic, leading Google to delay its next flagship Gemini model by two months. However, some observers question whether Google's heavy bureaucracy will hinder the execution of this ambitious technical roadmap.
