This is signature Google blog post. Great research, not a product, so no you cannot use it.
Do they have no intention to make a product out of it? This is not something Microsoft would've done. They directly announced Copilot as a product from the get go instead of parading their tech.
- kccqzy 3y agoIt's a marketing device for people to apply to Google and become employees. Remember Google puts its employees way above its customers, and Kurian is only beginning to change that culture.
- vlovich123 3y agoHasn’t he been there for about 5 years now?
- gowld 3y agoKurian only runs Cloud.
- VirusNewbie 3y agoCloud is like half the company now. It isn’t just GCP.
- quaintdev 3y agoShare holders > Employees > Users Users and employees can swap places on case to case basis
- j16sdiz 3y agoI think google do layoffs ...
- taotau 3y agoGoogle also quite often fires customers.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 3y agoDoes Google struggle to find employees? High comp, reputation for do little work, and ridiculous hoops if you want even higher comp and a promo.
- VirusNewbie 3y agoThe do little work is certainly not true of everyone I know at G. Maybe some teams have slackers but in general they’ve always managed low performers out, with maybe the exception of 2020-2022 when they didn’t want to fire anyone.
- fzeindl 3y agoGoogle is immensely rich from their ad business. As long as that keeps printing money they don't really care about employees, products, development, customers or rivals.

- quadrature 3y agoGoogle has GCP and Bard(also in GCP) as avenues to commercialize this research. It’s been slow going but I do think we will see a cultural shift towards releasing more products backed by research like this.
- steren 3y agoThis is a research blog post, similar to a published academic paper. Not everything is a product, that's how research works.
- rvnx 3y agoIf we think a bit: If something is not reproducible nor public, the researchers could claim anything they want, as long as it somehow sounds plausible. A researcher working in a corporation may have good reasons to exaggerate results or cover the defects: - individual prestige (higher salary / better job) - impact on company valuation - potentially being able to claim a patent if someone else actually manage to implement the real deal - etc
- jahewson 3y agoMy experience has been the opposite. Corporate researchers are well-funded in stable jobs, with large teams and access to proprietary data and resources beyond the imagination of most academics. Their talents are often needed for practical internal projects as often as just doing cool research. If they work on something awesome for the company it doesn’t matter if their paper is rejected, or takes three years to get published. They tend to move between companies too, which would expose any fraud. Academics on the other hand need to maintain strong relationships with industry to be in a position other than just chasing grant money (via publications). They need their paper to be accepted, or they’re in trouble. They certainly care about prestige and patents just as much as any corporate researcher.
