Google literally publish the attention paper. Have people not been paying attention? Google has been the only company I’ve been watching that really understands what they are doing.

IMO Google struggles to productize things, so they sit on great ideas a while or do the wrong thing with them, but OpenAI really showed the way and Google can probably take it from here.

Google has great technology, their ability to make and focus on great product development without getting distracted is the issue

If Google wasn’t threatened by OpenAI et al., it wouldn’t be making Gemini today though.
