tbh I think Google should sell all the companies they bought because Google can't deliver any products anymore. There are product companies (hello OpenAI, Anthro) and then there are corporate companies. Google is the latter. Their attempts at making new products have been failure after failure recently:
Bard → Gemini → Jules → Antigravity (they can't even come up with a good product name)
Their GCP console is a mess. Wanna get a Gemini API? Good luck with that.
And where is the "internet through balloons"? Where's their quantum HPC? Where is half the stuff they demo every year to devs to prove that they're still relevant but never ship them? e.g., where is that smart glass they used in their demo last year that had Gemini in it and could analyze what you see? Where's their "calls any restaurant on your behalf" ML model they introduced many years ago?
Google has lost it, and to make things even worse, occasionally they poke at their successful products and googllify them too (YT likes disappearing, Gmail with Gemini, Google Search performing worse than Bing, etc.)
- jeffbee 10mo agoWithout regard to the rest of your comment, with which I largely disagree, at least this one feature I can confirm still exists and works fine: "Where's their "calls any restaurant on your behalf" ML model they introduced many years ago?" It might not run on your LibreNut 9000, but it works on my Pixel.
- alienbaby 10mo agoI thought antigravity was a great name, I assumed obliquely referencing xkcd
- mullingitover 10mo agoThis entire AI boom is happening because Google published their Attention Is All You Need paper and made transformers.
