I totally understand. I "retired" last summer, but I continue to work about 50%, mostly at a new place that needs my help. I like what I do. Anyway, gaming/reading/etc. are fine and dandy, but not something I want to do 24/7.
The only thing I don't quite get about Brin is going back to Google. Since he doesn't need the money, why not support open source AI projects?
If I already know a great team, one where I know all the people involved and they listen to me. Why would I make a new team?
Because it’s what he knows.
People often like doing the things they’re good at and not necessarily because they’re interesting.
Because in google he can be a “dictator”, while he wouldn’t be in open source.
Probably because he knows the people and frankly, the team that's getting paid billions collectively are the top talent.
