I have to laugh at an unrecognized Sergey Brin talking to stall for time at an AI hackathon while the audience waits for the real speaker, Grimes. That's a very enjoyable picture.

Right? Feels like something out of Silicon Valley.

I mean are these people anything more than influencers in the AI world?

A googler told me how Sergey would sit down at any table in the cafeteria. New hires would ask him what he did at the company.

I used to ride a contractor shuttle to NASA’s JSC. Pair of new hires and a colorfully dressed woman being escorted on the bus. Upon us getting off, one new hire looked around and said “I wonder if we’ll see any astronauts.” The woman was Sally Ride.
