Eric Schmidt Walks Back Claim Google Is Behind on AI Because of Remote Work

- Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, retracted his statement blaming Google's remote work policies for its lag in AI development, expressing regret for his error. - Schmidt's initial comments were made during a discussion at Stanford University, where he criticized Google's work-life balance approach in the context of competing with OpenAI. - A video of Schmidt's talk, which was posted on YouTube by Stanford Online, has since been set to private at Schmidt's request. - Google and OpenAI have similar hybrid work policies, requiring employees to be in the office three days a week since 2022. - Schmidt's remarks align with other corporate leaders like Jamie Dimon and Elon Musk, who argue that remote work hampers company efficiency and competitiveness.

What is the deal with Analytics India Mag

Been seeing a lot of articles by the publication praising google's gen AI model - Gemini and the strategy around it. Articles heavily implying doom is just around the corner for Open AI because Gemini is going to kill it. I firmly think Open AI currently has a huge headstart, and is the model of choice for devs as well as general folks and google (where i also work) has a lot (A LOT!) of catching up to do. Does anyone get the same sense from their articles?

Hot Take: Google will not exist in next 30 years

Atleast not in the form it is now. Found a rare good post on LinkedIn via Twitter which lists the reason why i think so. Also, I was reading psychology of money and one of the chapters discussed how GE used to be the most valued company in 2000s and how within 20 years, everything went to manhole. Google is seriously going through a leadership crisis. I hate Pichai from the gut. We Indians like him coz he's brown munda, but I have never seen such narrow minded CEO since Balmer.
