With the gen AI Era, I expect Google's dominant position will be threatened even with the help from deepmind due to default gen AI agents on each platforms. For example, if you can just ask agent questions and can get quite decent quality answers from the default agent on Samsumg phones, why would you google it manually? I know samsung is using Gemini with partnership with Google and heard that Google is adding a new API for users to choose default agent or model, or to use Gemini on their applications. Would it be enough to keep the power of Google as a gate keeper today? Wdyt?
Good question. It’ll be an interesting time when Google full dismantles and no longer is what it was… I wondering if we’ll need to start paying for subscription or tiers of how we navigating for information. In the same way Twitter overnight dismantled though there still aren’t other better social platforms quite like it. -ex Googler
Oh yeah, that's an interesting idea. I believe default system agents will be profitable without a subscription model. They can get commissions from users and merchants. For example we shall ask agent to book a hair salon, then they'll have such business model. Meanwhile, maybe Google might be able to make a policy to forbid bots to query or build a paid model of allowing it. I think usually the user-end products have the key, but not always, like with all the open source DBs and NoSqls, Oracle is still one of the most powerful businesses.
The money and food might last a while, I don't know about the rest of it
Oh I have no doubt on their ability to build the best AI. Their approach of using 1 model for different dimensions like visual and text should be the future of real AGI or human level intelligence. Just, I feel like they are not in good position to take benefits from their own AI ability. One of the motivation of this post was that I was shocked when I heard that this round layoff includes hw folks of Nest and Pixel. Sunday Pchai should be the one who'd have the plan, but I can't understand.
AI is the least of Google’s problem. They need to have better focus and management to get things done right and improvement instead of coming up with graveyard ideas.
Have you ever used Bixby? Nobody's using that shit.
It's the same for siri. Google assistant sucks too. I'm not referring to those technologies.
For SW, everything Sammy does is shit. Their HW is great, not the SW. Whatever agent they come up with will suck just as much donkey balls as bixby
AI is future, G soon to be past, will be in queue of Yahoo!!
And Oracle
