2024: Google is on fire. Sergey coming back helped. Gemini, Veo. They've caught up. OpenAI is doomed.
2025: Google is seriously winning now. Nano Banana!! Google was destined to be the true winner of AI.
2026 H1: Google is slow as hell. Where is Gemini? Google is not launching anything, meanwhile just look at everyone else. Anthropic! And open source. What the hell are they doing over there?
2026 H2: Everyone is leaving Google. Google is doomed. PMs are destroying the company. They don't take risks.
Meanwhile, Microsoft: "Copilot!"
