We have these discussions internally but what do you all think? Personally, I’m not sure if their business model can survive in 10 years to still be a market leader. Maybe as an IBM. This is my opinion: prove me wrong. - Bard has a long way to go. - Google search has globally already lost over 6% of its users to Bing in just 2 short months. This is outrightly scary. - Company moves very slow and is still hesitant for risk. Can blame leadership. - Getting TikTok users and influencers into YouTube shorts isn’t working and will not. - Waymo launch will likely never happen (billions in drain). - Cloud is still losing money significantly and Azure & AWS set themselves up to own most market share. Google Cloud as a platform (other than BigQuery) poses much higher migration efforts for companies and provides much less value than the competitors’. - Stadia failure affected the stability of Google more than the public knows. It wasn’t just a measly tax write-off. - Pixel phone sales are declining. - CEO is not able to keep up with the changing market trends. TC: 390k but probably less than $300k now due to stock drop and partial bonus :( #tech #google #swe #startup #faang

Doesn't sound right to me. Seems like Google actually still increased their market share. https://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share
Yahoo is still around. Google will still be around too. The question is weather they will be the behemoth they are in 10 years. They could be, they have the engineering talent, and the capital to be, but something big will have to change, and they will probably need to gut leadership and flip organizational structure. They need what Steve Jobs called a, “bet the company moment.”
Yeah could be the same story of IBM, GE, or Cisco in the 90s. Unstoppable behemoths that couldn’t adapt quick enough.
IBM was the king of hardware, and we have since exited that business. The real question is, what is Google's exit plan to survive 110 years like IBM?
C’mon bruh - they got like 14 x a billion active user apps … they can figure out how to monetize those eyeballs in different ways, not that hard. They’ll be around - big data is the new oil rush and they got a shitton of it. It’s gotta shrink to become nimble - it’ll get there.
Yes they’re a big player in Big Data and it’s emerging. But Databricks, Snowflake, and AWS are moving faster than us. Also, I know about how Google has implemented these foundational strategies around future monetization and it’s brilliant. But when the Google platform itself is at the beginning stage of losing a critical mass of users, they’re not innovating at the rate they need to.
I don’t like your sense of googlyness.
Yes
🤦♂️
Bro, I’m sorry you got laid off but come on.
I did not but I’m surprised you don’t see what I’m saying. I’m very disappointed with leadership here. But don’t get me wrong, working here has always been a dream of mine and over the recent years, we have not proved to adapt to the market. C’mon we’re supposed to be the leaders in AI and being an AI-first company, and we are at least 3-5 years behind OpenAI.
Didn’t some ai engineer get fired for saying that one of their AIs was sentient and it scared him? ChatGPT is nice and useful but I wouldn’t even come close to calling it sentient. So if you’re saying G is worse than openai what are you basing it on? Just because chatGPT is first to market (before G) doesent mean it’s better. I’ll bet Google just wants to make sure they can monetize it correctly.
what’s the story about Stadia affecting more? Extra-unprofitable due to refunding everyone? the search monopoly lasting over 20yrs already is pretty good even if it dies next year.
Yeah like $900 loss per Stadia user or something
Pixel is not going to do much against iPhone unless they start over with non-JVM core. GCP is on path to profitability though in a case of rising tide lifts all boats. They need to get out of 3rd though, AWS is way ahead as trailblazer but less of an excuse to be stuck behind Azure
Google is finished
Yeah they’re at a bigger risk than any other company right now, look at the facts
Brother, IBM and GE are still around I think google will be here in some form in a decade
FYI- IBM and GE are over 100 years old with multiple product streams to generate revenue. Would like to see what's next for Google to survive.
off topic -were you impacted in the latest layoffs.
I was not but Blind has been scaring me about Round 2s
