    It’s so crazy to me how Google went from like, a full decade ahead of the rest of the world in AI to unable to complete with the better hobbyists

    Enshitification is a hell of a drug

      I think that’s a result of them being less willing to throw AI at everything earlier on. They didn’t slap it on use cases where it didn’t work so well. Instead they gradually introduced use cases where AI integration did add obvious value. That strategy ended with ChatGPT’s public explosion.

      Google seems to focus on speed instead of burning token for agentic loop to achieve better results.

      With Sadya at least Google lost its touch, I guess the pragmatic path (cutting R&D and experimentation) was a short sightest move

        Who is Sadya? Do you mean Satya Nadella? He’s Microsoft CEO. Google CEO is Sundar Pichai.

            Just imagine him slamming together hulk hands going “it’s sundar-ing time” at the R&D offices. Then one by one punching out monitors and telling employees “you’ve been sundered”

            I’m pretty sure that’s how it happened

    He doesn’t need Gemeni to do it. He likes to commit them himself
