      And? I bought more. This is excellent news.

      This over-reaction is why people can't see over a long time horizon.

      This is great news for Google as they realize that Sundar is the problem and he will soon leave Google for Demis to be the new CEO of Alphabet (Google) which I am predicting. [0]

        AI is critically important to Google, but there&#x27;s a lot more to Google than just having a frontier AI model. Do Demis skills line up with what the whole company needs? It&#x27;s going to be tough to beat Sundar&#x27;s 1200% increase in stock price.
