Sundar Pichai, CEO, said: “Our results in the first quarter reflect strong performance from Search, YouTube and Cloud. We are well under way with our Gemini era and there’s great momentum across the company. Our leadership in AI research and infrastructure, and our global product footprint, position us well for the next wave of AI innovation.”

The only one mention, it's strong position across conservative approach. A must have for any large multi national company like Google.

lol at people still using Google. Kagi is far superior.

Consider this: You ask a question (go to google) to solve a problem. But an LLM solve it for you. That's why they are popular in programming. However, besides this, google is still my go to for relevant information on entertainment and news etc.

Yeah, Kagi is more for academics and people wanting to search the real internet, not the pop one.

There's a meaningful difference between the two. You're fired for doing something wrong. You're laid off if the company wants to cut costs.

That is what corporate HR and Executives want you to think. Layoffs can make it look like the company is having problems so instead of doing that they will create vague KPIs so that employees will not meet them so they can be fired.

What you're observing is that companies lie, not that there aren't differences between the two.
