Why doesn't Google use their own search tech for their own products? Gmail, Sheets, Docs, Drive - all terrrrrible search experiences. Tbh, same is true for pretty much any in-product search e.g. Stripe, Intercom etc

Kinda interesting that Sama basically just said (via his actions): People can still can be the biggest levers for companies. $6.5bn for a 55 person acqui-hire (even if they do have some IP already) - $118m/person. The most advanced AI company in the world still values talent…
