Honestly, Bing is kicking Google's ass in the most basic search tasks these days, and I never thought I'd see that happen. Seeing Microsoft neglect and degrade their bread-and-butter OS while genuinely improving in search makes me feel like I woke up on the wrong side of the rabbit hole.
Some people at the top seriously need to be fired from Google. Working on advanced language models is all well and good, but not at the expense of maintaining the company's core competencies.
