I wonder what makes EU so wealthy to just buy stuff everywhere - maybe it's the export of high-end technologies inaccessible to US and China?

Google has barely released a successful product in 20 years.
Google Cloud is good and successful. Except they can't implement billing hard caps, or pretend they can't.
Their API business model seems to be hope enough people accidentally go over free tier: $0 for the first 5000 monthly places lookups, $40 per 1000 after that

#253These scammers from FTX did put $500 million in Anthropic early on, for about 14% of the company. Later on this was diluted to 8%.
8% of a $380 billion valuation would be a cool 30 billion which I think would have covered the entirety of the fraud and left money for SBF and its friends.
But thankfully around June 2024, the clawback of stolen funds by FTX had its Anthropic shares sold for about $450 million.
I'm glad to know SBF and its scammers friends are going to see exactly jack fucking shit of that money.

I thought that the likes of Android, Google Docs, Google Translate, etc. were fairly successful. Chrome and ChromeOS also seem fairly popular too.
This year: chromeos is 17 android is 18 chrome is 18 google docs is 20 google translate is 20
None of them looks like their original form, none would survive without google’s enormous investment.

Depend on the definition of the "product". For example some banal cloud storage in which everyone competes. And it's an "old" product, despite being invisibly improved behind the scenes, just like at any other provider. Google has pretty competitive storage AND they are fully abusing Android integration for AND they have pretty good bundling of that storage with other products, including, you've guessed it - LLM Gemi…
Google Drive is easily the worst of the desktop cloud storage options. It’s okay for Google Docs but not other files if that’s what you’re talking about..
In a world where OneDrive exists?

Google built ten different chat products, how did that go?
Does it matter? Microsoft won by default with Teams because it actually turns out no one cares about chat or even has a choice in it: employees use whatever the company picks.
The world, other than the US, runs on WhatsApp. Business, support and payments are done there. So people do care.

#257How is Anthropic, OpenAI and xAi going to compete against the likes of Google that can spend $200 billion a year? It’s an impossible war and all these investors are throwing their money into a bottomless insatiable pit of money. Until the funding stops for one reason or another and then everyone loses all their money at once like a star that collapses into a black hole singularity in a femtosecond.
I’d guess they want to outlast OpenAI and then get bought by Apple or Amazon.
Google will buy Anthropic if it comes to it. Google already owns ~30% of anthropic and Anthropic is running on Google hardware.

#258Is this a fair valuation?
I don’t think we will know for a while.

#260I did a search for a nations GDP to compare that to. That’s Chile, I think.
