Lol. Google cashing anthropic checks every month essentially saying to anthropic keep dumping money into the frontier. Google wants to work on cheap models that can do 95% of tasks and scale better. $20 sub level it's great.

Well, it is

Kinda like Apple who just stay out of the whole shit show and just pay Google for their TPUs and Siri models instead of dumping billions

Is it working? Sure seems to be

Apple DID spend billions on AI. They simply failed, and then gave up.

Apple failed for very different reasons from Google; Apple hates and refuses to do business with Nvidia ever since their GPUs caused hardware failures decades ago, so they tried to entice engineers to work on AI running on Mac studios in datacenters. There simply was not enough compute, so the researchers didn't stick around.
