@sherlan1886 26 дней назад

Agreed, it was interesting to see Sundar struggle through this but it also makes this topic scary for me. It seems like he was pressed on focusing on optimism, that he wasn’t prepared for those hard questions. In my opinion, he should be because these are some real concerns and these are the things Open AI, Microsoft, Google and soon Apple needs to consider.

@toadlguy 23 дня назад

Nilay pressed him on some really tough questions, but I think that Sundar also tried to answer him (for the most part). I got the feeling he really wanted to say that if Google didn't switch to "AI Overviews" then other providers using RAG were simply going to eat Google's lunch (but I think he wanted to maintain Google's invincibility). Much better discussion than you normally get from CEO interviews.

He's avoiding the critical question being asked. And smaller websites are having a hard time, ofcourse the ''restaurant next door'' is doing very well, because it's sponsored and payed money to be seen. Google doesn't need to know it all, all it needs to do is guide us to the places that provide the information we seek. No Social media app can compare to how fun and informative websites of the past used to be. Google took that away..

@harshavardhanvenkatasaikot6861 15 дней назад

In my opinion, Honest is the wrong word but out of all the interviews I have seen this one by far he opened up, Google invented the transformer, I think they have a bigger model than anyone but they got it every time wrong when competing with Open AI, and they can do more, but they have limitations like anti-trust cases, AI safety, etc..., They do have the tools. everyone wants exciting tools like chat GPT4o and something new the race is on so let's see who wins

Remember kids, there's no such thing as "searching the web". You're only ever searching some company's indexed corpus of the web's content. Edit: Lots of people in the comments are either not understanding my point (that censorship is inherent in how search engines work), or they believe this point is so obvious that it's not worth stating, which seems naive to me.

@AlastairTyeSamson 26 дней назад

This interview didn't do much to quell my sense that Pichai is completely out of his depth. The question-dodging is not unexpected. I don't like it, but CEO gonna CEO. What's far more damning here are all the questions he appears to be completely unprepared for. I'm sure he's a smart dude - you don't just fail upwards into his role - but there really are times he comes across inarticulate and out of his depth. I've never seen a company's products be allowed to fall from grace so miserably. If AI is the direction he wants to go then do it! But to launch products before they're ready while allowing the existing products and services that they're replacing to devolve so dramatically that they're utterly unusable while the replacement is not up to scratch only leaves your users with an ecosystem where nothing works. This breeds resentment towards your brand and sends users looking for a replacement ecosystem. I genuinely think we're witnessing the biggest corporate fumble in modern history.

@woocashky 25 дней назад

yeah, you're making really good points here - Sundar's unpreparedness in that interview is eerily reflective of how Google was caught off guard by OpenAI in recent years. I don't think they will go down but they will likely loose the leadership in the tech world - they already lost as a tech innovator for sure.

He doesn't sounds like he believes his own words 6:40 - Sorry but people are right. AI will kill traffic. Without a content attribution model baked into LLM system, nobody is going to save most websites with legacy content.

@ksX-pk8su 17 дней назад

At some point AI Corps maniacs will realise that the "well of information(the web)" is nearing empty and thus their precious AI bots will have limited or zero resources to be trained on. I don't think they are that naïve to think otherwise. Consequently, they will encourage contents to be published and distributed, it's in their interest at the end of the day. AI are dependent on access to old and new information and knowledge and for that they will need content (text, videos, images etc). It's really that simple, they cannot cut off the hand that feeds them.

@Mionwang 26 дней назад

This is an excellent interview! The Bloomberg interview felt like it was heavily scrutinized by Google. P.S. Having listened to the interview and having processed it, here's what I think is the primary problem with Pichai continuing to lead this monstrosity of an entity that's Google: He lacks opinions and visions that are his own. Unlike, say, Musk or Sama, Pichai doesn't seem to have any strong opinions about anything. He seems like a robot, reacting to the things happening around it according to its programming. That works when everything is going well and there's no competition, but backfires when you're required to innovate. Whenever some critical question (that didn't require technicalities but were more of a moral/philosophical question) was asked, he defaulted to "i don't know, i'll have to ask my team". I think that's a huge problem. I think that my point can be proven by the fact that google services have been becoming increasingly buggy and unreliable. They've also cancelled some incredible projects that had the potential of becoming massive if only they could keep pushing through and taken some minor losses for a few initial years. That's the result of someone who lacks vision and passion.

@designthinkingwithgian 22 дня назад

To be fair, Google is a massive conglemerate a many business units. To have granular opinions on all topics seems like a tall order to fill. I agree that he needs to be more decisive and have a “go forward” vision. But this level of disruption is a dance with one foot in the future and one future in the “current state” since AI first search would cannibalize their own business model.

@Cevichelicious 26 дней назад
