Yeah but Google's Quarterly revenue hit 76bn in 2023 which is when they _actually_ started working on catching up to Open AI. I was working at Google at the time and got swept in the layoffs.

In the past couple years they're up tremendously, yes, but so is inflation and the market in general.

Google's revenue is still almost entirely ads.

But if anyone can pull off AI longer term it'll be the Goog I'm sure.
