Thread regarding Alphabet Inc. (Google) layoffs

This is why Google AI will fail and more layoffs will come

Simple example. Do you remember this video from 5 years ago?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5VN56jQMWM

So, where is the real application of this video ? Vaporware ?

Google has ZERO customer centricity. For years, they accommodated search/ads, spending millions on useless research, especially on Google X. Now they have a bunch of people that never created a product, new grads mastering the useless leetcode, and very incompetent leadership.

Google customer centricity is so bad that the same Googlers who worked on generative AI whitepapers/research years ago have now become their own competitors, moving or creating companies that build REAL products solving REAL customers' goals.

AI will not save Google. Google will fail again.

Googles main challenge is that their tech isn't keeping up with the times. The times are driven by consumers now, not engineers and academics like in the early 2000s. Picture all those Stanley cups. What does Google have that's as well designed and popular as those?

What would the app equivalent be, and could Google keep it running long enough to win in the market?

You see this with cloud. Google doesn't have the customer mindset that Amazon is a master at, or even Microsoft who has years of enterprise focused customer experience. Google will struggle in the B2B space
