    Emphasis mine. That’s not the typical MSM phrasing in a hard news article. Op-eds maybe but hard news no.

    While tech firms are spending big on AI, their earnings are not always meeting analysts’ expectations, spooking investors and creating fears of an AI bubble. […] The worry is that some tech firms will not be able to justify their sky-high valuations because the cost of building AI data centres and developing the software will end up being greater than the money they can make from it.

    This is funny if you haven’t seen it already.

    Alphabet’s stock market value plunged on Thursday after it revealed the AI summaries it now provides as the top answer to search queries were affecting its core search advertising revenue.

          I don’t know anyone who actually uses Gemini period… They give their Pro plans out like candy to students for free, but once that ends I know their numbers are gonna look atrocious

            I have Gemini through a work account and it’s actually impressive how awful it is. When I’ve tried to use for any task e.g. “find me a widget to these specifications on the market” (ie web search and product recommendations, which is notionally google’s core competency) it completely fucks it up. I cannot believe it’s a public facing product not a failed alpha stage prototype.

              I use a Poop-gle product at work and it feels like everything they make now is the same crappy products. Vibe-coded documentation that doesn’t even list the correct api endpoints sometimes.

              Their support also doesn’t know or care about fixing the problems, and they outsourced their engineering to “israel”. Which is funny because those mfs are the kings of ai psychosis

          Jules was the thing that gave Google an edge over Claude/OpenAI… IMO if they had polished it more it was a superior tool to throw at the enterprise customers looking for Big LLM agentic driven development automation that was cloud first. antigravity might come back with that feature set under a name like antigravity cloud, but they could have merged those concepts over time in a less krombopulos I JUST LOVE KILLING PRODUCTS way. The fact that some rando never heard means nothing to me, as the space is so crowded that only a weirdo has heard of more than 1% of it.
