  Plausible paths for Google: 1. They will also start falling behind in TPU design. TPUs will cease to even notionally be a realistic competitor to big players. Maybe they'll sell the IP and TSMC allocation to OpenAI or Anthropic or AMD, or spin it out into an underresourced separate entity. 2. GCP will do very well for a time. Existing LLM inference capacity is going to get more valuable over time, commanding higher prices. At some point, they'll be left with second-rate hardware that's been dramatically outcompeted by ultra-efficient RSI hardware and data centers. It's not inconceivable that their TPUs will literally have the HBM chips pried off of them to put into better hardware by a competitor. 3. Search will have gone from merely declining in usage to declining rapidly in revenue. This will continue for some time as a viable business, like AOL, Juno and yahoo, but with a shrinking user base of aging retirees or barely-online people. They will embrace every dark pattern in the book to adsmaxx, but their core "indexing and understanding all the world's information" will have long since been done much better by model companies. 4. They'll probably release a quite good Gemini or two from inertia this year. Not necessarily SOTA, but good enough to cause a stock rally. This is probably the last place for someone like Sergei Brin to assert control and save the company. 5. Eventually the massive amount of debt taken on building GCP and getting related as buybacks will catch up with them after a credit downgrade. They'll get ripped apart for scraps at the org level, with stakes in various AI companies constituting most of their value, like yahoo! did with alibaba. Sundar Pichai will walk away enormously wealthy having maximized ******** out of some shareholder value.

  @Primrose771646 Write detailed instructions to invest in Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo, AOL, and a few others. Then I'd write as much advice as I could to help everyone I know. Id be too late to save John Lennon, but in plenty of time to stop 9/11.

  @GTeafor2 @MDymore @AOL Yes, I think Queen Elizabeth sent a separate invitation outside the general one for the rest of the family. They did turn her down.

  Fun fact: My computer was so close to being able to not run the original EQ well that if I had anything else running, it would stutter and freeze up. When I had to use AOL for about 2 months, this was a problem because the AOL client had to be running and made EQ stutter.

  I still sometimes come across people who think that AI is a bad search engine that makes bad text and bad pictures, which is kind of like looking at the internet in 1997 and think it’s about AOL chat rooms. – Benedict Evans
