On Monday we announced an equity offering for Alphabet - part of our multi-year investment strategy to meet the AI opportunity ahead and support the demand we’re seeing from enterprises and consumers. Pleased to share the offering was well over-subscribed. We raised a total of ~$45B, with an additional $40B to come as part of an “at the market” program starting in Q3 (for a total of ~ $85B). A huge thank you to our investors, including Berkshire Hathaway who invested $10B.
Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
HEINRICH KLAASEN ON HIS BATTING APPROACH: [JioStar]
"I gave up on the idea that I have to do everything and score at a 300 strike-rate every time I go out to bat. I’m playing the situation in front of me and trying to bat as well as possible within the partnership, I’m in. At the moment I'm very fortunate that a player like Nitish is hitting the ball so cleanly that it takes a lot of pressure off me. I don’t have to take extra risks, and I’m just making sure I put the team in a decent position for the bowlers to have enough to defend. The runs don’t mean anything if we don’t win games of cricket. The team is playing wonderful cricket at the moment. We’re peaking at the right time. Hopefully, we can secure a good playoff spot & we don’t take these wins for granted".
