    Today I saw one of the most talented engineers I know and worked with leave DeepMind and now I probably know part of the "why". Dark clouds hovering over Google's AI game.

      I disagree - I will be surprised if google doesnt win the AI race long term. They have the money, the chips, and the ability to attract talent.

        They’d be hard pressed to lose, if it’s what they want.

        They need to route all browser search strings to an LLM, and slowly begin to charge where people will pay. Likely ad space.
