I actually love this. They think they'll be able to control this tech and be lords over everyone. In the meantime everyone is replacing them with homegrown solutions.

It's not at all how things are going / went.

Two years ago everybody was explaining that Google was done, that because of AI search was dead and that they were the IBM or the 2020s for they were absolutely nowhere went it came to AI.

Now we're at a point where a little flash model from Google is SOTA on half of the benchmarks:

So the tune changed: Google is now dead not because they'd be nowhere in AI but because they're too good (?) at AI?

So basically: whatever happens, this time for Google it's over right?

(not too clear why it's a 122 Kb .gif file as if the 90s called over dial-up modems while when the same in .webp would be less than half the size but I digress)
