    No AGI on the horizon and that ROI horizon approaching fast is going to make Ed Zitron a superstar.

    If Demis Hassabis got a Nobel prize for being a Project Manager, is Zitron up for the Nobel on Economy for excellence in economic forecast?

      Ed Zitron has predicted 16 of the last 0 AI bubble bursts...

      But more seriously, this has to do with DeepMind falling way behind the frontier in intelligence and cost per task. There's basically no reason to use a Gemini model today.
