Yeah I had a big lol when I read “just don’t let people declare bankruptcy for 7 years after graduation” - how in the world could this be good public policy?

I'll eat my hat if SpaceXAI manages to produce something even close to leading edge again

Their hardware is nowhere near Nvidia, hence Google paying SpaceX hundreds of millions of dollars a month to SpaceX for capacity there.

This is 1000% not their (Google's) aim. The position they are in is due much more to their organisational laziness and incompetence than it is any grand strategy.

> Google wants its AI to be pervasive in everyone's daily life.

Google wants nothing more than the world to remain stuck in 2000 - 2020 where search was king. Their organisational inertia will fight its AI progress every step of the way and this very well explains why they are not leading the AI pack despite inventing the technology.

My favourite part of their strategy here is its profitability

Trade secrets? Like how to invent a trillion dollar technology and then sit on it for years while others eat your lunch with it? Like how to consistenly release inferior quality models to others despite infinite compute and engineering talent and insane profitability in your legacy businesses?

Thinking that on prem models will be a halfway decent solution against what can be served out of a data center is a fools take... One that is more common than it should be on here...

> Huh? I don't think there's much doubt ...

I am doubting. I will be very surprised if Google ends up top or second place (again?) at any point in the next few years.

> I think this is good. Having one clear winner would be worse than this ...

I agree that it would be better to have 3+ top labs as well.

How's that talent been working out for them the last few years?

"I got the top tier of Gemini AI." - that's your issue, get a subscription to a lab offering actual frontier models like Anthropic and OpenAI.
