> I genuinely can't think of one impressive thing Google has done in the last 15 years. I find that hard to fathom. I think what you meant to say is "an impressive right that actually got made into a b2c product". Otherwise you'd have to ignore that they kinda pioneered llms, until OpenAI poached their tech, polished into a (for a consumer) breathtakingly functional "AI" They also kept researching self driving via weymo etc On the business side they've also made a significant mark on the programming world via k8s, golang and angular2 among other things But I'd completely agree with the sentiment that they completely dropped the ball wrt their original target demographic. Beyond the improvements to android, I can't really think of anything since 2010 either that really improved things.
