>Brain is everything you know of today in GenAI space

I know ChatGPT, Midjourney, StableDiffusion, Adobe Firefly, And GitHub Co-Pilot in this space. Where’s Google?

Let me guess: Brain’s research led to those products? Even if that were the case, Google still failed to market and capitalize. Are they running an open research lab for the greater good? Or are they still interested in launching market-leading products?




Unlike the original moonshot, which was famously first-order revenue-positive ;)


Yes, it was. It was a political program to gain reputation against the Soviets and phenomenally successful in that I think the US was happy with its ROI.


Reputation isn't revenue.

You could say the same thing about Brain or Waymo.


The USG isn't setting out to make money on major ventures. Publicly traded companies are.


Sure, google didn't capitalize on their tech before others did.

But google is a fast follower. Let's wait and see.

Also - did you miss "many other internally used tools/infra" part - if they can feed ads infra and increase revenue by a meager 1%, that's more than enough to make up for all others combined in revenue generated.
