For years now, I've been asking the same question to everyone around me (my circle is full of techies): "What has Google been doing recently? Apart from promises of quantum computing, I've heard nothing in YEARS". Everyone reacted with indignation at my ignorance of Google's apparently eternal elitism. Well, I feel pretty vindicated that I was having doubts about their continuous efforts since about 2018. Google has become 2016's Intel in the past years.
@@LogicallyAnswered Agreed, they are not "incompetent" but the extremely bleeding edge company that they were in the early 2000s/early 2010s is definitely not there any longer.
It’s really nice to hear someone say this ! Been saying this for years ! Google used to be a cool innovative company. I was always eager to hear of their next “tech”. Even the failures. It made them so different cuz you would never know what they will come up with! After Pichai took over, The company just lost that. The old Google wouldn’t have waited for someone else to release chatGPT. They would have. They might be making loads of money , but personally, they just ended up blending into the background.
Not necessarily, they could shift to be more of a Oracle or Microsoft in the way they generate their profits. There main strategy seems to be helping other build their websites.
"Focused on profits and pleasing shareholders." If I had to sum up what's wrong with modern economies in a line, this would be it. The primary focus of a business should be producing a product or service that pleases it's CUSTOMERS. Shareholders and profits should be after that in priority. As an example: GM's Mission Statement used to be "To build the world's best automobiles." Now, it's “to earn customers for life by building brands that inspire passion and loyalty through not only breakthrough technologies but also by serving and improving the communities in which we live and work around the world.” Which is just a full sentence of bullshit designed to look good to investors, as is the vision statement: “to create a future of zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion." Companies spend more time and effort bullshitting to look good for wall street than they do on the primary focus of their business. There's always been a level of that, but for some reason it seems to have really exploded since the Great Recession. I'd love for you to do a video on it if you can figure out why that might be, because while I can clearly track the trend, I can't justify it.
I know I'm replying to myself and that's cringe, but honestly, what is more likely to make you a customer for life? A vehicle built by a company with the intention to "Build the World's Best Automobiles", or a vehicle built by a company with the intention “to earn customers for life by building brands that inspire passion and loyalty through not only breakthrough technologies but also by serving and improving the communities in which we live and work around the world.” Which isn't even focused on the damn product (the automobile) but rather the public perception of the product (the automobile BRAND). If GM was really interested in customers for life rather than shareholders for life, they'd have just kept the first damn mission statement.
@@Marty_TH-camr GM has nothing to brag about anymore, but Tesla is not even in the conversation of best OEMs. You can't be when you sell 100k USD vehicles with 1990s $20k vehicle build quality and half inch panel gaps. Besides, the point is that GM was doing better when their mission statement made sense to customers, not investors. Which is true.
Yes! I miss the old Google... The "Don't Be Evil" Google, that dropped a brand-new invite-only email on April Fool's day. How serious they took April Fools day back in the day to make it the unofficial official holiday of the Internet itself, never above mocking itself and trusting everyone was intelligent enough to know it was all just a prank... The company that would start a million new products a year, to cancel most after a few months, just to see what works... OK, there were somethings about this that was mildly infuriating, like they couldn't settle on a messaging platform (Google Talk (gtalk), Google Hangouts, Google Chat, Google Meet, Messages (Android Messages), Google Voice, and all the other versions before and killed or morphed to new), but yes, I definitely miss the older Google... I would describe this as soulless corporate zombie, compared to what they were.
As a share holder in my 401k, I think it's the right way for Google. Google is maturing, as any startup must eventually. Basically Google is becoming like Microsoft 20 years ago. In the end, Google is a mature business, and it's goals SHOULD be aligned with the shareholders. I don't need Google to pay ridiculously high salaries for unproductive workers and on things that look cool but is a waste of money. Those are startup behavior and should be left behind for other new startups.
I think this narrative is pretty wrong. There shutdown a number of the moonshots but I think that's to divert resources to the main ones (AI and self-driving cars) which are beginning to scale. Waymo is now operating in two cities and growing. They have the by far the most AI talent of any company in the world and those products are coming.
@@LogicallyAnswered lmao that’s just downright wrong. Waymo is fully autonomous while Tesla cannot go from point A to point B without a driver being present. Can’t believe you would say that I thought you were someone credible, guess not
@@LogicallyAnswered depends on what you are measuring. If it's car production at scale, Tesla is definitely ahead. If it's solving self-driving, it's not even close. FSD is a scary experience. Waymo was at current FSD capability at a minimum over 5 years ago.
@Simon Binder that's not true. Waymo's did 100 mile trips in California 10 years ago. The maps and sensors that the Tesla fans always bring up just make the car safer. It's basically cope.
@Simon Binder you should broaden your sources of information. Tesla is not even a top 10 destination for AI grads. I did some googling on the year comparison. Look up this quote: “It’s just not going to happen. It’s technically very impressive what they’ve done, but we were doing better in 2010.”
The feeling that google is like the big brother always watching everything you do, gives a very unfriendly and scary wibe to it, not just its size or services.
Google Is facing what all monopolies do, the same thing that IBM faced back in the 90's and what Intel faced not too long ago. They became complacient while their competition didn't
I have Google Fi. It is kinda revolutionary, I get service even in the deep peruvian desert near Majes. Not only that but I can hotspot my family consistently during the time that I am there. And only for 75$ a month. I just am not a fan of Google but good service is nice.
People also want to take a degree in tech because it gives them better chances to work in high paying jobs in tech. That kind of mindset is changing since companies realized that they are missing out of really good individuals without a degree. Maybe in the future being in a big tech company will add prestige to a resume and maybe the companies will look more into what impact you created inside a company than which company you worked on
@@KRYMauL But don’t shareholders own a part of the company? And if they own a part of your company doesn’t that hinder your ability to maintain the business (If your a big corporation).
most of the open source tools available are from Google. they are driving AI. Take tensorflow for instance. I think the clip and the comments are based in general public perception and consumer products availability. If you "google" a bit you'll see they keep pushing new projects.
While I'd still love to work for Google someday, it's more like a government job in some sense, with stagnation occurring for the innovators and thinkers in the company, truly making it seem more like Intel than Nvidia. It's a shame, since with they're Capital, they could invent the next best thing like Gmail or the iphone.
@evilsanta8585 That's what I'm saying, they're stuck in a rut like Intel instead of producing great products like Nvidia. While I hate Nvidia for their market dominance and pricing, they have sound products with great features.
I think this would be a problem if they actually had any success with the moonshot program. No one should expect a public company to burn $50 billion dollars on a moonshot program while treating their employees like royalty when they don’t get back 1% of that investment.
Imagine if Microsoft develops an ai powered video hosting site like youtube, with same monetization scheme but makes it for sponsors to find the users easier. It would be over for youtube.
great vidéo, i remember wanting to study computer science to work for google, facebook. Now that i finished my degree i just wish to never code ever again, time flies lol
Embarrassing fail on Bard AI chatbot. It looks like they shared a loss in Meta's shameful style. Hope this is just in the short term and that it won't be tendency of failures in an attempt to make all of these turn around. Btw watching the video and it already looks interesting as usual. Let's see.
Bard AI's failure and ChatGPT success do NOT represent a loss of Google's core identity. ChatGPT lies. A lot. Sometimes convincingly. If someone at Google is trying to make an AI chat-bot that any chance of ever being correct, they are probably doomed to fail. ChatGPT has no such lofty goals.
I'm willing to forget that whatever that sudden ai event from google was if this year's google io can make up for it. They can make it out it of the hole they dug their self into. The cofounders are back in the company actively. I hope this year's io doesn't disappoint.
@@mikeunger4165 But that doesn't change the fact that they failed in AI chatbot sector, does it? This huge amount of loss that Google experienced because of this fail was due to false hopes in investors that as if Google could make the most OP chatbot just because they had the most information. It wasn't just the proof that Google couldn't do much in the AI sector, but also that they don't have the entire control and access over their data... Now this was worth $100 billion for sure, if not more in a bit long term. And i do understand that this has lretty much nothing to do with Google Play Services, but it surely affects, for example the automatically driving cars project that they hope will give their company an extraordinary growth.
Its current situation naturally came from having grown a monster. Not necessarily will become a Cisco: Microsoft could successfully pass that growing stage and bring back innovation.
11:33 I disagree with the assessment that “engineering student’s want to work for SpaceX and Tesla.” This is perhaps true for ENGINEERING students, but the CS students I know (myself included) still want to work at Google or other FAANGs.
I guess many students will be turned off by the 25/7 work culture there. I mean, if I were an engineering student I would definitely avoid those places like the plague. It's absolutely not worth sacrificing your life, your family and health just to make Elon Musk happy.
The problem is that it's hard to know what really matters. Hewlett-Packard tried gatekeeping new product development, ignoring those without $1 billion potential. It didn’t work out because it's difficult to tell ahead of time which will be blockbusters.
Even Android. It becoming more like Apple day by day. I remember when Android phones had the capacity for many sensors like IR sensors or extra storage capacity and now Android phones are just a different flavor of iOS.
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself becoming the villain. Mkbhd has a video on why LG Phones died. No company can survive just by innovation and trying things out. And we don't want Google to just die, do we?
does anyone think Microsoft is really trying to change as of lately. Bringing Windows 11 and constantly trying to improve it. Actually trying to implement user demanded features. msedge bringing in new features constantly, trying to improve bing, ides like vscode, vs. languages like typescript, C#. They are also bring features to msvc compiler faster than any other compiler. microsoft aquiring github, and github copilot
its called "no more Free money" to waste on fantasy... the last 15 years has just been way too much money being made and put into businesses that had way more money then sense.. now.. they don't have that luxury.
As a privacy advocate I think Google isn't that bad, heat me out. Yes, Google is bad, very bad, BUT even today their no where near as bad as Microsoft. Google has committed to many projects being open source, Android being a big one but they also contribute to certain protocols & other technologies which help everyone. Google has put massive effort into the security of their Pixel devices, security that protects their users even from Google themselves, the Titan security chip is among the best in the world & on top of that Google allows unlocking & re-locking the bootloader enabling full functionality of these security advantages for custom operating systems like GrapheneOS for example. Do their phones suck compared to Samsung device, yes, their less premium, larger, the processors are worse, etc, but their open platforms with god tier security. Also you can easily block much of Google's tracking with ad block, while I would never use Google search & many of their other products I do use TH-cam. Despite using ad block & limiting my Google exposure I know for a fact Google makes more money off me through other avenues, plus I've caused a lot of people to buy Pixel devices for GrapheneOS. So would I like Google to be better, absolutely. Would I prefer Microsoft take their place? Certainly not! Microsoft is showing us with Windows, heck even Minecraft, just how evil of a company they are. I would prefer Google every day of the week. (Btw these aren't your only options)
Doing research is going forward. Making money means going sideways. This greedy attitude will not last for long. Silicon Valley companies are busy copying each other with layoffs - so they can put some loose change in investor pockets. Not much - but the amount is climbing up, and this trend makes them happy. But it will not last for long. All cheap innovations based on the theory of large numbers have been already been exploited, and TH-cam users are getting so annoyed by excessive ads they're actively looking for alternatives - Manifest v3 will not be really welcome. Competition from Far East will push Google writing poems and not essays in a very short time. They will hire scientists and stop the woke, this year I guess. Thanks for the video Harry, very appreciated...
I agree with this video but why you say in other video what windows is groing up whitouth the same analysis?. Don't sound the same analisys whith 2 companys in the the same field
My experience with google fi was bad. Was an early adopter, so had to give up my google voice number. After a couple of years on fi I had to drop it because of call quality complaints and random calls not coming through. Never had those issues with other service providers.
Video paraphrased: The father left the family, the mother is spoiling the kids(shareholders) by wasting resources andencouraging bad habitys while undermining the sanity left behind by the missing farher figure.
It’s very interesting that Google is kind of changing. *Edit* now that I’ve watched the entire video I miss the old google I think that they could still branch out but them wanting to appease shareholders makes sense.
The final hint for me that Google became a soulless corporation rather than a fun company is when they decided to remove the fun dessert names on Android versions. Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Lollipop, KitKat. They were fun but Google decided to simply become that boring old man in a suit and simply name Android versions as numbers. Android 10, 11, 12, etc.
Google hasn't done anything particularly impressive in about a decade probably give or take a year. An antitrust breakup really would be mutually beneficial both for society in getting rid of a huge rent seeking corporation and in Google for getting it out of the current "too big to succeed" state that it finds itself in.
There are several talented people who didn't get chance to work at Google and would just die to be part of extremely talented cohort. On the other hand existing Google employee think perks of Google are not enough 🤣
If chatgpt is available to public what do you think Google has behind closed doors? The lay offs weee more than likely because an ai now dies most trivial office tasks and they are learning more complicated ones by the day
great video. google just seems kinda sad now, and what good is ad revenue if no one's there to see the ads...AOL... Yahoo... I guess they'll shuffle on until they become a zombie or find their soul again
Your reasoning sounds logically and it strongly draws an image of the underdogs resignate and make space for the big dollar to rule the new google. Storywise I like the old google more and hope Alphabet is not turning into sisco or intel 😢
I think Alphabet should be broken apart. Search should be a standalone company. Android should be it's own thing. Waze/maps should be separate. Fiber should be separate, and etc . The moonshot division should then have a preferred stock share class that would be funded by dividends from each of the the separate Search division. This way shareholders would be happy with each firm focusing on what they do best, while moonshot is just on its own to do whatever. Everything under one umbrella is a problem.
most of those would fail if that was done without google massive stock piles of money to fund them. it would be like breaking up tesla and spacex. without the money from spacex tesla would be a dead car company.
@@gonzaloenrique8741 these just are the facts if google and youtube separated. youtube would be under in under a year is gone from massive debt. youtube bandwidth cost alone would sink it. but google doesn't care its a negative income maker from all the data it collects. they use for there advertising side.
Don’t Be Evil was just a dumb slogan. It was meaningless because evil people find ways to justify their actions. Nobody thinks they are evil, so as a slogan it achieved nothing.
It doesn't matter, google is still the tech giant and is objectively more invested in tech than other tech companies. If they just release 50% of their pet projects, they might make some profit 😂😂

Google went from an engineering company to ad company, now an engineering company is innovating and let them behind.
When a consultant becomes CEO,
I never knew that about SouthWest. Fair play to them 👏
its called "no more Free money" to waste on fantasy... the last 15 years has just been way too much money being made and put into businesses that had way more money then sense.. now.. they don't have that luxury.
This pisses me off because google doesn't even need to listen to shareholders. What can they even do? Both founders own majority shares.
As a privacy advocate I think Google isn't that bad, heat me out.
Yes, Google is bad, very bad, BUT even today their no where near as bad as Microsoft.
Google has committed to many projects being open source, Android being a big one but they also contribute to certain protocols & other technologies which help everyone.
Google has put massive effort into the security of their Pixel devices, security that protects their users even from Google themselves, the Titan security chip is among the best in the world & on top of that Google allows unlocking & re-locking the bootloader enabling full functionality of these security advantages for custom operating systems like GrapheneOS for example.
Do their phones suck compared to Samsung device, yes, their less premium, larger, the processors are worse, etc, but their open platforms with god tier security.
Also you can easily block much of Google's tracking with ad block, while I would never use Google search & many of their other products I do use TH-cam.
Despite using ad block & limiting my Google exposure I know for a fact Google makes more money off me through other avenues, plus I've caused a lot of people to buy Pixel devices for GrapheneOS. So would I like Google to be better, absolutely. Would I prefer Microsoft take their place? Certainly not!
Microsoft is showing us with Windows, heck even Minecraft, just how evil of a company they are. I would prefer Google every day of the week. (Btw these aren't your only options)
I am not in danger, microsoft. I am the danger

I’d be interested to hear a video about Southwest. How did they pull off no layoffs? Very interesting
I have one about them :)
No lay offs means lower salary but keeping everyone employee
Lemme just google openings at google right quick
Hahaha, good luck!
That's what they deserve for not letting us play with Lamda as OpenAI did with ChatGPT
Doing research is going forward. Making money means going sideways.
This greedy attitude will not last for long. Silicon Valley companies are busy copying each other with layoffs - so they can put some loose change in investor pockets. Not much - but the amount is climbing up, and this trend makes them happy.
But it will not last for long. All cheap innovations based on the theory of large numbers have been already been exploited, and TH-cam users are getting so annoyed by excessive ads they're actively looking for alternatives - Manifest v3 will not be really welcome.
Competition from Far East will push Google writing poems and not essays in a very short time. They will hire scientists and stop the woke, this year I guess.
Thanks for the video Harry, very appreciated...
I agree with this video but why you say in other video what windows is groing up whitouth the same analysis?. Don't sound the same analisys whith 2 companys in the the same field
What is your educational background very curious to know
Cs + mgmt?
Aerospace engineering
Good one
My experience with google fi was bad. Was an early adopter, so had to give up my google voice number. After a couple of years on fi I had to drop it because of call quality complaints and random calls not coming through. Never had those issues with other service providers.
Video paraphrased:
The father left the family, the mother is spoiling the kids(shareholders) by wasting resources andencouraging bad habitys while undermining the sanity left behind by the missing farher figure.
Bing A.I search is about to put Google to shame...
If Google becomes another Cisco or an Intel, I am OK with it as long it exists somewhere!
Even Intel got it's shit together in the last 2 years
Tbf with ChatGPT and Bing Google might have an AMD to their Intel
It’s very interesting that Google is kind of changing.
*Edit* now that I’ve watched the entire video I miss the old google I think that they could still branch out but them wanting to appease shareholders makes sense.
The final hint for me that Google became a soulless corporation rather than a fun company is when they decided to remove the fun dessert names on Android versions. Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Lollipop, KitKat. They were fun but Google decided to simply become that boring old man in a suit and simply name Android versions as numbers. Android 10, 11, 12, etc.
Google hasn't done anything particularly impressive in about a decade probably give or take a year. An antitrust breakup really would be mutually beneficial both for society in getting rid of a huge rent seeking corporation and in Google for getting it out of the current "too big to succeed" state that it finds itself in.
Wow very informative
There are several talented people who didn't get chance to work at Google and would just die to be part of extremely talented cohort. On the other hand existing Google employee think perks of Google are not enough 🤣
All company's secret moto is "Make More Profit"
Ahh classic engineer division vs management division
I could barely focus on the topic since I had to keep myself from vomiting while looking at all of that stock footage.
You either die hero or live enough to become the villain is applicable for Google
this felt like a video that could have been two minutes
look at bard..and their presentation at bard...they even don't care about live events now a days..
bing is about to eat their lunch
If chatgpt is available to public what do you think Google has behind closed doors? The lay offs weee more than likely because an ai now dies most trivial office tasks and they are learning more complicated ones by the day
I want to see something on Rumble
great video. google just seems kinda sad now, and what good is ad revenue if no one's there to see the ads...AOL... Yahoo... I guess they'll shuffle on until they become a zombie or find their soul again
I would get Google Fi but it's not better than Verizon with coverage.
Your reasoning sounds logically and it strongly draws an image of the underdogs resignate and make space for the big dollar to rule the new google. Storywise I like the old google more and hope Alphabet is not turning into sisco or intel 😢
I wish Google would overhaul their aesthetic. It looks so old now.
I think Alphabet should be broken apart. Search should be a standalone company. Android should be it's own thing. Waze/maps should be separate. Fiber should be separate, and etc . The moonshot division should then have a preferred stock share class that would be funded by dividends from each of the the separate Search division. This way shareholders would be happy with each firm focusing on what they do best, while moonshot is just on its own to do whatever. Everything under one umbrella is a problem.
most of those would fail if that was done without google massive stock piles of money to fund them. it would be like breaking up tesla and spacex. without the money from spacex tesla would be a dead car company.
You know what they say about opinións
@@gonzaloenrique8741 Yes it is called TH-cam
@@gonzaloenrique8741 these just are the facts if google and youtube separated. youtube would be under in under a year is gone from massive debt. youtube bandwidth cost alone would sink it. but google doesn't care its a negative income maker from all the data it collects. they use for there advertising side.
Finally, I'm among the early comers
Thanks for being early bro!
Time to move on to the next big thing
What recession?
4:24 Unfair promotional process could be real, caused by DEI.
Google can stay put and earn all of their accolades!! They don’t need to do anything else!!!
Yep pretty much
I guess that makes me number 1 🥇
Thanks for being the real #1 bro!
Don’t Be Evil was just a dumb slogan. It was meaningless because evil people find ways to justify their actions. Nobody thinks they are evil, so as a slogan it achieved nothing.
🔥🔥🔥👉
Heyy hari , hi . How's life bro..
Bro watch out Google doesn't cancel you😅😁😂🤣
Damn techies haha!!
An advertising company that wants to lead the world in artificial intelligence. What could go wrong?
Most software engineers want to work at Tesla?!?! Lolololololololol
You should talk about verily
I'm buying shares of the company. Cash flow is king. It's great to see them tightening their belts and focusing on reducing costs.
I wanna make something like chat gpt
Good luck!
I almost stopped watching when I read Mark ZuckerbUrg. Really? Don't you double check?
google has fucked search, the experience is terrible these days
Batman
It doesn't matter, google is still the tech giant and is objectively more invested in tech than other tech companies. If they just release 50% of their pet projects, they might make some profit 😂😂
in the tech world you can be a giant today and bankrupt tomorrow.all it takes is some new disruptive change and openai seems to be that.
Don't be evil.
Well Google went woke, didn't it?
Totally not first
Thanks for not being early man!
