    honestly i don’t think this is too big a deal - search has always been more than just results like when you could enter in an equation and get a calculator widget or currency exchange.

    i do think that stagnation has hit tech companies as a whole and i think google is suffering because of it. google i/o’s and android used to be so exciting now it just feels like they’re going through the motions (apple suffers from this too).

      I would argue the opposite. These big companies have discovered what they believe to be the Holy Grail of technology (generative AI) and are now in a race unlike any seen before to deploy it as quickly as possible to the world and gain market dominance. Big tech is completely out of control right now, even the CEOs are describing it as “frantic” behind the scenes.
