Some tech nerds will care. It's kind of interesting to see, especially for (the now hundreds of thousands) current or former googlers.

There was a huge back-and-forth about comments by Yann LeCun that the OpenAI work was just a public-facing stunt and No Big Deal [1]. Suffice to say, there was some dissent about Yann's assessment (comparisons to "less space than a nomad, lame", etc.)
Semi-related, various comments from web-watchers [e.g., 2] about the possibility for these chatbots to replace google search (e.g., redirects to stack overflow could be answered by a code chatbot).
Given the context, it's interesting.

It's good for leadership to see what the development flow/experience is like for those in the trenches
As long as it’s not the Mr. Burns type thing where everyone smiles and tells him he’s doing great when it’s a complete disaster and he didn’t follow any established protocol.

ChatGPT is slowly being presented as a Google-killer and it might scare investors.
Bringing him back might reassure them?

I'd be much more interested in his first contribution. The article says he's merely requested access to the codebase. Which, to his credit, is much better than asking for reams of printouts...

I don't think Mr. Burns built the nuclear plant.... Everything might not have gone perfectly but Sergey built Google search from nothing. It's worth over a trillion dollars now. Any time he speaks he seems to be smart as hell and funny too.

Agreed. I think this is probably better to an extent. I’m probably describing Musk.
