Sergey Brin on Google Glass
From The Moonshot Mindset with Adam Savage and Sergey Brin: The Moonshot Podcast · · X, The Moonshot Factory
“I think we were premature at productizing what we did x is trying to be the right amount too early. And that means sometimes we're going to be too early. I think that's just the reality of it. But even if glass was to early, glass was a phenomenal learning platform. And when it was put to people as a learning platform, people were super hungry for it. They adored it. They learned a lot. We learned a lot. It was a great positive feedback cycle.”
On , Sergey Brin, Co-Founder & Director at Google, spoke about Google Glass during The Moonshot Mindset with Adam Savage and Sergey Brin: The Moonshot Podcast on X, The Moonshot Factory.
About Sergey Brin
Sergey Brin appeared at a Google DeepMind Build Day at AGI House in June 2026, where he discussed the convergence of specialized models into general ones, noting that Google's Gemini LLMs are increasingly state-of-the-art for math and scientific questions. He acknowledged that Google was "a little bit late" in focusing on coding but said the company is now "very much focused on code." Brin praised competitor GPT-5.5 for deep coding tasks while promoting Gemini 3.5 Flash for speed. He defined AGI as the idea that AI can improve itself, adding that to do anything a person can do, AI must understand and interact with the physical world. In a May 2026 episode of The Moonshot Podcast with Adam Savage and Astro Teller, Brin reflected on X's moonshot projects, saying the organization aims to be "the right amount too early" and that even premature products like Google Glass served as valuable learning platforms. He also discussed the concept of Von Neumann machines—self-replicating devices that could be sent to other planets. At the 2026 Breakthrough Prize Ceremony in April, Brin co-presented the mathematics prize to Frank Merle, describing Merle's work as seeking "hidden structure – and hidden beauty – within chaos."
