Execs: We need to implement ChatGPT functionality into Google search to stay relevant and protect our moat!
Engineers: Okay, we have LaMDA which is a more powerful language model, we'll implement it.
Execs: Great, what are the risks?
Engineers: Well each search is going to cost 5x more compute power, and may reduce the amount of clicks to ads and search results since we're answering all their questions directly.
Execs: Hold on... we need to have a bunch of meetings about why not to do this.

- fragmede 4y agoGoogle went from searching when you click the search button, to searching as you type, which increased compute spend per search, and they kind of just did it. I don't think it's cost of compute per search that's holding things back.
