1
00:00:21,363 --> 00:00:25,533
S1: Google is shutting down its URL shortening service, so any

2
00:00:25,533 --> 00:00:28,053
S1: links created with it will stop working. If you have

3
00:00:28,053 --> 00:00:31,863
S1: any important links using the service, you want to migrate them.

4
00:00:31,983 --> 00:00:35,343
S1: I'm pretty sure Google will soon sell YouTube to like

5
00:00:35,373 --> 00:00:39,093
S1: Johnson and Johnson and Gmail to Luxottica, and then go

6
00:00:39,093 --> 00:00:44,583
S1: full speed into the what the f are we doing business?

7
00:00:44,613 --> 00:00:49,533
S1: Whatever business that is, it's the single most perplexing company

8
00:00:49,563 --> 00:00:53,403
S1: like I've ever seen. They were first on Gen AI.

9
00:00:53,433 --> 00:00:57,663
S1: They wrote the paper for Transformers, and now they're completely

10
00:00:57,663 --> 00:01:01,923
S1: lapped by not just OpenAI, but anthropic as well. And

11
00:01:01,923 --> 00:01:07,803
S1: now they're being lapped by meta, by meta in an

12
00:01:07,803 --> 00:01:11,253
S1: open source model. How are you like fifth place when

13
00:01:11,253 --> 00:01:13,533
S1: you have all the people and all the money and

14
00:01:13,533 --> 00:01:17,583
S1: you actually invented the tech? They're like the opposite of Cloudflare,

15
00:01:17,583 --> 00:01:20,793
S1: which does small things really well that add up over

16
00:01:20,793 --> 00:01:25,473
S1: time because Google is like slowly dismantling everything. It's getting

17
00:01:25,473 --> 00:01:28,173
S1: rid of all the best things that it has. The

18
00:01:28,173 --> 00:01:32,853
S1: main thing Google is growing is the Google graveyard. Such

19
00:01:32,883 --> 00:01:37,173
S1: a colossal waste of money and talent. And these failures

20
00:01:37,173 --> 00:01:39,873
S1: should be studied for centuries. As an example of what

21
00:01:39,873 --> 00:01:44,733
S1: happens when you don't lead with UX focused product management.

22
00:01:44,913 --> 00:01:49,893
S1: Product management, like being in charge, like thinking about the

23
00:01:49,893 --> 00:01:53,223
S1: customer and the total package and the total experience of

24
00:01:53,223 --> 00:01:57,063
S1: this product or service that you're launching, as opposed to

25
00:01:57,393 --> 00:02:01,713
S1: throw shit at the wall. Focused engineering and engineering is

26
00:02:01,713 --> 00:02:06,243
S1: in charge of product. It makes no sense whatsoever. Like

27
00:02:06,243 --> 00:02:11,823
S1: it is the most inefficient, like large organization I can

28
00:02:11,823 --> 00:02:14,763
S1: imagine that I've ever seen.
