# Sergey Brin on AI Investment

> "As a founder of Google, I would rather go bankrupt than lose the race on AI. I'll spend anything."

— Paraphrased by [[entity-nate-b-jones]] from [[entity-sergey-brin]] of [[entity-google-d50]].

Used to anchor [[claim-hyperscaler-bankrupt-willingness]] and frame the demand-side intensity that produces the [[concept-ai-brick-wall]] collision.

**Note**: This is presented as a paraphrase. No direct verified Brin quote on 'bankruptcy for AI' is on the public record.
