I said it before and I'll say it again, take away the search monopoly and Google is the slowest moving and most dysfunctional company in tech. Sundar is doing his best Ballmer impression and what it is truly embarrassing is given Google's supposed "talent" especially in the AI space they are really doing nothing for the billions they are throwing at the problem. I mean just look at the insane amount of articles about one of their top AI engineers, Geoffrey Hinton, so alot of press all fluff so to speak.

- Aleksdev 4y ago“Google is the slowest moving and most dysfunctional company in tech.” That’s a little harsh. Google makes great products like the Google cloud and Gmail. To say they are the most dysfunctional and slow moving company in tech is outlandish.
- subsubzero 4y agoIf the shoe fits.... Gmail was launched in 2004(almost 20 years ago), and google cloud, well its hemorrhaging money - it lost $3.1B in 2021[1], that's not a successful business in anyone's opinion.
