I cannot wait for the true downfall of Google. Many friends I have had began working there and fell into a blackhole of arrogance. Meanwhile, nothing from a technical perspective, aside from BERT, has been contributed by them in quite a while. Their technical open source (Tensorflow, Angular, Kubernetes) has all followed the same pattern of overly complex garbage. Facebook opensource (Pytorch, React) blows the doors off Google open source.

And exactly, where are the models? Where is the AI? Bert came out what 5 years ago?

Its certainly not in Search given how unusable the results are. They are busy using models to structure everyones content so they can display it on the Search page and capture value from content they didn't create

Not one mind blowing AI product from them. The results of OpenAI are exposing FAANGs as has beens

I guess it depends on your point of view. Deepmind as far as I am concerned is the one true success that Alphabet is funding. The work they do is truly cutting edge. They may not be good at making products out of their breakthrough research, but you can't argue they are the "beens" on the basis of that.

At some point in time they need to either release the models or release a product that leverages AI in an impressive way. When other companies start releasing more, and they dont respond for years, it means they were all hype

Their products are used internally at Google and they don't need to release anything to anyone if they feel their use of their ai gives them and advantage in their own business field.
