Thirdly.
I didn't expect Google to be this self aware; it's refreshing to see, and so disappointing that they can't simply be honest about it externally as well. I'd love to see this sort of candor and discussion as an open and thriving relationship between consumers and producers. It can't exist in capitalism, as it stands, but I want it all the same.
I also didn't expect *both* google and openAI to be completely reduced to ashes in weeks. The fragility of dominance is revelatory.
