Their build quality means a secondhand Miele lasts longer than brand new other brands for the same price.

Exactly this. At their Korean equivalent its the norm that to get a promotion above a certain (middle management-ish) level, there's a hard requirement to get a certain grade on an English speaking test. This is taken seriously to the

This is correct money-wise. Samsung Group's market cap is around $400-500 billion, while its chairman (the family head) is estimated to be worth $10-15 billion. It's not as correct decision-making influence-wise. The power balance

Hard to tell whether you are being sarcastic or not; just in case you aren't, it's trivial to confirm that few people vote in a game-theory optimal manner.

How many human search queries does Google serve and how much do they make on SERP ads? I can see OpenAI's revenue per search ending up higher too since the ads will be impossible to distinguish, so even more valuable for advertisers.

By the same logic they'd get to sue over the scraping done to originally train the models. If royalties need to be paid for additional use, they would've needed to be paid for the original use.

As if OpenAI won't end up offering paid access to influence these results, or advertise inside them. Of course they will, just like how Google started without ads. It will be even more opaque and unblockable.

What I'm getting is that Google did push too hard, they gave Bard/early Gemini demos when the product was still miles from ready and compared awfully to GPT, and they're still suffering from it.

The frontend of the B2C product, on desktop, sure. I was talking about the LLM itself, i.e. API-based usage. And there's a good number of tasks it's better at than any other model. Same goes for GPT and Claude FWIW, each have task
