>But only partly because Google has tried crazy things recently too.
Our definitions of "tried" and "crazy" clearly differ.
>They killed it before it got to consumer
By that definition, I "tried" building a spaceship yesterday. I just killed it before it got to the launch. Crazy, huh?
>Maybe there's just not as much blue ocean for crazy things in tech to succeed like there used to
Or maybe a company abandoned by its founders that ditched its "Don't Be Evil" motto for something incomprehensible ("Respect the opportunity", pardon me? Should I also "Be nice to profits" and "Revere stock value"?) isn't the shining paragon of innovation it used to be.
There is plenty of space for crazy things, more than ever before. And both Alphabet and Meta are doing crazy things. Just not as a part of their main businesses (Google/Facebook, respectively).
