Google Co-Founder Eric Schmidt Blames Work From Home, Flexible Hours for Falling Behind OpenAI, Praises Elon Musk's Leadership: 'Look At What He Gets Out Of People'
Alphabet Inc.'s former CEO and Chair Eric Schmidt on Tuesday discussed the reasons behind Google's loss of initiative to ChatGPT-maker OpenAI.
Alphabet Inc.前CEO和董事长Eric Schmidt星期二讨论了Google失去ChatGPt maker OpenAI主动权的原因。
What Happened: In a conversation at Stanford University, Schmidt pointed out that Google chose to prioritize work-life balance and flexible working hours over winning.
发生了什么：在斯坦福大学的一次对话中，Schmidt指出Google选择优先考虑工作与生活的平衡和弹性工作时间，而不是胜利。
"Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning," the Google co-founder stated, adding, "And the reason startups work is because people work like hell."
谷歌联合创始人表示：“谷歌决定，工作与生活的平衡、早回家、云办公比胜利更重要。而初创公司之所以成功，是因为人们像地狱一样工作。”
He went on to highlight the importance of founders in driving a company's success, particularly praising Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. "As much as we can dislike Elon's personal behavior, look at what he gets out of people," he said.
他接着强调创始人在推动公司成功方面的重要性，特别是称赞特斯拉和spacex（临时代码）CEO Elon Musk。“尽管我们可能不喜欢伊隆的个人行为，但看看他从人们那里得到了什么，”他说。
Why It Matters: In May, Deepwater Asset Management's Gene Munster noted that while Google lags behind OpenAI by roughly six months in AI development, it remains about five years ahead of the rest of the industry.
为什么这很重要：今年5月，Deepwater Asset Management的Gene Munster指出，虽然在AI发展方面，谷歌落后于OpenAI大约六个月，但它仍然领先于其他行业公司约五年。
Last month, OpenAI also teased the company's upcoming AI model named SearchGPT, a direct competitor to Google's flagship Search product. Although some analysts were not overwhelmingly impressed by it, the development echoes the intensifying rivalry between the two companies.
上个月，OpenAI还透露了该公司即将推出的AI模型名为SearchGPt，这是Google旗舰搜索产品的直接竞争者。虽然一些分析师对此并不是非常感冒，但这一发展体现了两家公司之间竞争的日益激烈。
Previously, an internal email from Microsoft Corporation revealed that the company's investment in OpenAI was driven by concerns about falling behind Google's AI capabilities.
此前，微软公司的一封内部电邮透露，该公司对OpenAI的投资是出于担心落后于谷歌的AI能力。
Earlier, concerns about OpenAI allegedly violating YouTube's terms of service were also raised following which it was reported that the tech behemoth might be considering taking legal actions against ChatGPT-maker.
此前，OpenAI据称存在违反YouTube服务条款的问题，之后据报道，这家科技巨头可能考虑采取法律行动对抗ChatGPt制造商。
