Google co-founder Sergey Bin is back at Google. He is an American Computer Scientist and Entrepreneur and along with Larry Page, he founded the most popular search engine on the web-The Google. However, What is catching the eyes of the viewers is that he has filed his first code request in so many years after being the founder of the most popular search engine Google. Let’s find out more about this news that is catching the attention of a lot of the public.
As the battle in Artificial Intelligence technology is heating the Silicon Valley Companies and Google Co-founder Sergey Bin is actively getting his hands on the software code once again, after being absent for years on a day-to-day basis.
On January 24, 2023, Sergey Bin appeared to file his first request his access to code in years, according to the screenshots viewed by the Forbes, and other two sources said that the request was related to the LaMDA, Google’s natural language chatbot and it was a project that was initially announced in the year 2021. But it has recently gained a lot of attention as Google is trying to fend off the rival OpenAI, which released the popular AI tool ChatGPT bot in the November of 2022.
Sergey Brin has also filed a ‘CL’ which is the abbreviated form for ‘Change list’ to gain access to the data that trains the LaMDA, it is said by the only person who saw the request. It was a two-line change to the configuration file to add his username to the code and as said by the person who saw him file the code request. Several dozen engineers have given the request LGTM approval, which is an abbreviated form of the ‘Looks good to me’.However, some of the approvals also came from the workers outside of the team and seemingly eager to be able to say that they have given code review approval to the company cofounder, Sergey Bin as said by the person.
There is no response from Google to multiple requests for comment and the move was seen as a small technical change, but it would underscore how seriously the company is taking the looming threat from its rival OpenAI, and other competitors of Google. Sergey Bin along with the cofounder Larry Page has been largely inactive in the company since 2019 when Larry Page handed the Reins to Sundar Pichai who went on to become the CEO of Google Parent Alphabet. But Sundar Pichai has recently called in the company founders to review the company’s AI Strategy and help form a response to ChatGP, as per the New York Times. Sergey Bin’s tinkering has highlighted the level of involvement that the cofounders are taking in the company.
The Google Company is reported to have been considering this situation so urgent that Sundar Pichai has declared a ‘Code Red’ which is shaking up the work of several groups within the Google company and presenting a countermove. According to the reports, Google is said to unveil a slew of new AI products that will be launched in the latter half of the year.
Sergey Brin’s Code request has been reported to have received some snarks from the Googlers and in response to that a person has commented “Fix Google first”.In another comment, a person wrote,” At least talk to us”.which is a reference to the cofounders who have been absent for the last few years. Some people also linked the posts from Google’s internal memes forum. That some of the memes showed old people fighting, as per a source from Forbes.
When Sundar Pichai announced Google’s biggest round of layoffs in company history last month-it shook the entire corporate world as the news came hard on all the staff as well as the general public who at some point aspired to work at Google. He also announced that there will be an elimination of 12,000 employees or 6% of the workforce and he did so with an eye toward the purpose of refocusing the company on Artificial Intelligence as per Sundar Pichai, “We have a substantial opportunity in front of us with AI across our products and are prepared to approach it boldly and responsibly,” he wrote in an email to employees.
There have been a series of comments on the official page of Forbes ever since the news of Sergey Bin making his presence visible once again in his most popular search engine company -Google and also the news of him making his first code request in many years. Many googlers have commented on the Forbes page as ‘It looks good to me’ and Google’s decision of refocusing on the artificial Intelligence industry is a good move and can give a strong blow to all the competitors of Google.
Its founders and the CEO of Google coming together would create a storm in the much popular AI industry and it would be a revolutionary movement in the Artificial intelligence world. The Googlers as well as the whole world are waiting to witness the AI tools that Google has to offer to its users after the massive success of each of Google’s ventures.
