"On Thursday, in a post on X, serial AI entrepreneur and digital nomad Pieter Levels, who goes by the name Levelsio, announced that he had purchased over $1 million in Alphabet shares, after being "the biggest Google hater for years." Levels said the company had been "completely mismanaged" for years and was "destroyed by politics and lack of any leadership," before undergoing a turnaround that he attributed to the return of co-founder Sergey Brin, whom he described as the "de facto CEO.""
"He pointed to Google's proprietary tensor processing units, massive data advantages through YouTube, Google Images and web search, and what he described as renewed engineering leadership under Brin for his investment decision, and why he thinks the company is now set to lead the AI race. "It's really just Google and Elon Musk and the Chinese in the end who will probably win," Levels said, adding that he only relies on models from Google, Musk's xAI, and Chinese firms such as ByteDance, Kling and Minimax."
Pieter Levels purchased over $1 million in Alphabet shares after years of criticizing Google for mismanagement, politics and lack of leadership. He attributed a corporate turnaround to the return of co-founder Sergey Brin, calling Brin the de facto CEO. Levels cited Google's proprietary tensor processing units and massive data advantages from YouTube, Google Images and web search as decisive assets that make Alphabet competitive in AI. He warned that AI benchmarks can be rigged and trimmed NVIDIA holdings, predicting inevitable competition in AI chips. Levels said he relies mainly on models from Google, Musk's xAI and select Chinese firms. Elon Musk characterized hardware as "the end game."
