@daringfireball I find betting on culture a better predictor of success. OpenAI sounds like Google in the early years: a massive concentration of highly motivated talent with autonomy. Google increasingly feels like it’s run by McKinsey. Layoffs, outsourcing to cheaper countries, shutting down products endlessly.

Google could save itself, but I can’t see how it would do it without unfucking search and impacting quarterly profits. A bold company would do that. I don’t think that is Google.
