Very interesting content, Richard! I didn’t know DeepMind in such depth before.

Great take on Google Search facing the innovator's dilemma.

So far, the e-commerce search segment remains stable, but there are also clouds on the horizon.

The rise of AI agents that make transactions and buy for us could jeopardize this segment as well.

Google had everything lined up to lead the charge in LLMs (researchers, compute, capital, Transformer paper, data, etc.)

Nevertheless, they were slow to react.

Will the rigidity and bureaucracy of large organizations hinder one of the most value-creating companies in history?

I'm happy to watch.

Interesting report. But I wonder if using a multiple ratio to just a revenue for Cloud instead of potential net income is right. I suppose its just early stages, but more detailed analysis would have been appreciated

Yeah, the result of the cloud multiple has a more detail and an in-depth model behind it, but I didn't want to extend the length of this article with it as it is already quite long. I will keep in mind to share a separate article about cloud valuations in the future. Thanks for the comment.
