Show notes
Logan Kilpatrick from Google DeepMind returns for his fifth appearance to discuss Google’s transformation from "sleeping giant" to AI powerhouse, sharing insights from his year at the company as AI usage grew 50 times to 500 trillion tokens per month. He examines Google’s strengths, including superior compute infrastructure, frontier models like Gemini 2.5 Pro, viral products like NotebookLM, and the deepest AI research talent in the industry. The conversation covers whether leading AI companies will become more similar or different as easy opportunities disappear, why startups still have unique chances, and the potential impact of Google’s ultra-fast diffusion language models. Logan also shares practical advice for joining early access programs and getting noticed by industry insiders, including his personal email and an open invitation to reach out.
