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.

One thing I've learned in this near half century on this Earth...

People always think the economy is tanking. I've heard "not in this economy" as an excuse every single year of my adult life. In retrospect, even in the boom years.
