Is Google’s 20-year search dominance about to end?

#332I said it in another post but AI is a feature, not a product. You just add it on. It doesn't become "the thing." People that are saying this are the same people that said Stories would kill Instagram or Facebook. It's just a feature you add in.

Shoreline is kind of hilly even if the hills are landfill.
"Smelly hills of Shoreline" doesn't have quite the same ring to it
Truly for that you want to head to Milpitas. I wonder how the economist would describe that. “The fragrant town of Milpitas, adjacent to the unappreciated Asbestos Gem of Alviso…”

#334Microsoft's integration of ChatGPT with Bing is really bad. No-one wants a busy search page with a side-bar of ChatGPT; what's the point of that? The correct interface for ChatGPT + search is just...ChatGPT. But it can also show you a list of web search results, when it's appropriate. A super-clean interface, that always shows you exactly what you want. That would be a killer feature and represent a real threat to Go…
As someone else said, the problem is ChatGPT lies straight to your face, whereas at least Google's answers are based on structured data by someone. It's traceable, whereas I would not trust ChatGPT ever to tell me the correct temperature to cook a steak.
Based on data? Watch it completely misinterpret someone elses text here: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=who+took+...

#335I don't understand this hype and I feel like I'm looking at different products than everyone else is. There are very few complaints I have about Google that I think this technology helps solve, and for most of my complaints, getting summaries of searches makes the situation worse, not better. To be completely clear: even if the AI was perfect , I don't know that I want even an actual human being to sit down and summa…
I shared this sentiment in one of my comments recently: “certainly I can’t be the only one who wants their search engine to search, right?”

What happened to the Waymo hype? If Waymo manages to break through and become a sufficient AI taxi, then car ownership becomes optional for a majority of Americans (unlike today).
Waymo has always been just a year or two from breaking through. Google's gotten through the first 95% of the work, but the remaining 95% is gonna take awhile.
Dude they are running an open public taxi in Phoenix, it has the run of the whole city.

#337Sorry to break it to you folks but if you hated your data being with Google, you are in for a surprise on how atrociously bad Microsoft is at privacy and security. Multiple close friends who have worked at Microsoft tell me that search history data - who is searching what, is basically sitting in systems with ACLs so bad that 20-30K employees have access through transitive membership of groups. To access a customer's…
I wouldn't be extraordinarily surprised if this is the case, but I do not expect it to be as lax as you suggest and given how it's presented to us it reads like someone trying to get people to not look at something. If you have things you can present as evidence that would carry water for your argument, otherwise it's random inflammatory claim on in the internet. And I agree, Google does take security more seriously…
Of the major three cloud providers, Azure is by far the one whose security bugs I hear most about. Not that this necessarily has much relevance to search, but it doesn't inspire confidence in their culture.

“What has Google released since 2013[0]? Stadia?” - GCP Suite (a full integrated and consistent suit, answering so many things) - Google Workspace (trust me when you get to know everything that is possible you will be amazed) - Tensorflow and other Machine Learning applications
Google Workspaces originally released in 2006 (inc. Sheets, Docs, Drive was 2012, Calendar was 2009, etc), it was rebranded "G Suite" in 2016 then rebranded "Google Workspaces" in 2020. Rebranding an existing product isn't innovation. Google Cloud is a worse clone of AWS, is that innovative? Redmond-style photocopying? I'll give you TensorFlow, but we're talking about that being their death knell, so congratulations…
GCP is definitely much better if not best cloud offering.

Agreed, but parent poster made fabulous claims based on hearsay. It could be true. But it also might be a motivated competitor trying to distract their rival as well.
Related question, if security is so bad, how did they win Project J.E.D.I? (honestly curious)
