    This is almost correct. In reality, rich people inside Google got richer. That was their sole goal. That is all they wanted.

    Because look, we all told everyone that the AI bubble was in fact a bubble, and that Google was destroying its own search engine, which of course would hurt them later. On the one hand, you could argue they didn’t believe us. But I think they didn’t hedge their bets because they didn’t care either way.

    Fuck the company’s future if you can get rich now, am I right? Never underestimate human greed.

      Always funny to see managers have the “fuck it” mindset, which they hate so much in their employees.

      Except they are paid to do exactly that: care about the company and it’s future.
