Google are really firing on all cylinders recently. It's almost shocking to read all they've done in the last year.

The fact they caught up with OpenAI you almost expect. But the Nobel winning contributions to quantum computing, the advances in healthcare and medicine, the cutting edge AI hardware, and the best in class weather models go way beyond what you might have expected. Google could have been an advertising company with a search engine. I'm glad they aren't.

Meanwhile the economy is tanking. But yeah what a fantastic year it is to be a company worth trillions.

The old problem with metrics like GDP, is that they consider the whole but not the parts, it is kinda saying that I and Musk have billions in wealth, but I am in debt.

Does this mean you also think that "the (US) economy is tanking" OR do you agree with me that the economy is NOT tanking?

He saying that using a single metric like GDP isn't sufficient for claiming that the economy isn't tanking. The economy != GDP. For many regular people, it's terrible right now.
