Feels like the innovative part of google does not exist any more.

“Negatice cash flow.”
God I fucking hate corporate jargon double speak.
Sorry, not hate, I double minus good it.
Negative cash flow means profits are down
It‘s even net profits (after expenses) are negative, right?
The question is what would happen if they didn’t spend on AI.
People got used to instant answers from chatgpt and perplexity. If Google didn’t follow, their market share would slowly drop
Well with all the money they pumped into ai they could have instead worked on making their search engine better at returning relevant and accurate results. Then when people clocked the fact that ai was giving them 50% bullshit, they would realise the juice is worth the squeeze with actually getting accurate info
Very true search is basically useless these days especially for technical stuff.
