Google Restructures Its AI Team: Jeff Dean Changes Course

This week, some of the biggest names in Google's AI team have taken on new roles. In some cases, including for the legendary Googler Jeff Dean, these roles are no longer at Google. Given that Google's models seem to be lagging behind those of Anthropic and OpenAI, does this indicate a period of turbulence for Google? Is this related to Demis Hassabis wanting to work on more interesting projects than virtual assistants? Or is there something else brewing here?

In this episode of The Vergecast, Nilay and David start by discussing the leadership reorganization at Google, the state of the AI race, and Google's ability to succeed in this field. They also touch on how Google and Reddit have become dependent on each other, and why this dependency is starting to pose problems.

Next, they talk about Disney's plan to further enrich the Disney Plus app, David Ellison's defense, the scourge of the "time spent" metric, Brendan Carr's ongoing assault on free speech, Spider-Man ads appearing in your BMW, and much more.
