Infrastructure side, probably quite a few already. On the product side Google does often hold promotions until the project demonstrates impact. What is likely to happen is that if the project succeeds everyone will get promoted. If it doesn't people will try and get promoted of their piece while blaming the failure on others 'oh but MY piece worked great the problem was everyone else's stuff'

#74I absolutely LOATH it when people post a video instead of a document or deck (except in cases when they need to demo something) because they essentially offload the work onto the audience. Obviously there are exceptions, but in general writing an update requires the author plan what they want to communicate. In my experience, off-the-cuff Loom videos are often rambling and verbose, and leave it to the viewer to synth…

#75Not bad, so instead of having people spend time making powerpoints and then give presentations while everyone else pretends to listen, now the presenter can auto generate it while everyone else pretends to have clicked the link. This is a more efficient way to waste time, it might actually succeed in many companies (until Google kills it anyway).
See, then there's a future market in having your personal AI watch the video for you and send you a two-sentence summary. It's like the opposite of compression. Expand a piece of data 10-fold for transmission, then recompress it back down at the other side.
Then we can compare the two sentence summary used to prompt the first AI to generate the video, to the two sentence summary produced by the second AI watching the video, to see if there was any loss of information.

I would give this post all my upvotes if I could.
