> Bigger example is how much they give away in terms of AI/ML.

You think they are publishing all these papers and open-sourcing TensorFlow for the good of the community solely?

No... if the entire ML community publishes papers with TensorFlow as code, then now Google can sell that many more TPUs and that much more access to their cloud systems to run the models...

No not solely. But often it is mutual benefit. But the one that seems most crazy is giving away Borg.

I was shocked they gave away the K8s brand. Now that was ballsy and surprised necessary.
