> "Google" didn't invent anything, the employees did
No shit, way to be pedantic over a common simple abstraction. Do you want a list of every author for every thing that is ever invented when someone refers to something?
It’s not pedantry, people keep saying “google” “invented” this stuff and a) no, they paid the people who did, and b) those people are no longer there.
“Google” is the wrong model of abstraction to deal with as with the founders long gone there is no intrinsically stable mapping between “Google” and “ai talent”.
This isn’t PageRank where the founder invented the original tech. Sundar going on 60 minutes saying vapid nonsense like “ai is fire” is the furthest extent of his abilities. There is nobody in power at google who is capable of leading in this moment.
