As a Googler: Not just the past 2 weeks, pretty much every Google-related article on HN is a dogpile. And that's fine, I even agree with like 95% of this article (minus the negative characterization of the No Heroes mantra, that exists for good reasons). Just important to note the general (understandable) anti-FAANG bias on HN.
How do you think Google will fare in the world of AI? From the outside it feels like Google has the lead in tech, but reading this article makes me question the management/if they can use that advantage to win in the long run
I don't work anywhere near AI, but the talent is here to do it. Just have to fix the organizational issues that are pretty severe at the moment.
I see that too and wonder if this will lead to an over sold stock and a similar Microsoft lost decade which may be a few years in. Google overall is very profitable and just needs 2-3 wins over the next few years and they have the cash to do it.
